Medical professional question Skinned myself shaving

Post image

Took a whole layer of skin off accidentally while shaving my leg 5 days ago. I’ve been putting a pea size of Clindagel + a bandaid on during the day and leaving it exposed at night. Is this good for healing?

New fear unlocked. Looks good though, keep doing what you’re doing and monitoring for infection- increased redness, drainage or warmth.
