Fake: Letting a wound breathe slows down healing and would not be recommended by a doctor.

Why do they think letting a wound breathe is a good idea? Are we supposed to let it just sit when it’s an open wound? I think a band aid is better than nothing
It’s an old and widespread myth. I think many people continue to believe it because it’s uncomfortable when the skin/wound under a band-aid gets moist. I only learned that it is bullshit because my mom (a nurse) told me when I tried to do it as a kid.
I only learned because some person on Lemmy just told me 😬
We did it, Lemmy!
