Oozing minor wounds (non gruesome photo)

Recently stayed in hospital for a week where I was on a heart monitor and the sticky electrodes were changed every day (ouch!) when I came home I had a portable monitor and tried to limit the changing of the pads but now it’s come off I’ve been left with 12-16 small graze type sounds from where the electrodes were. They are quite oozy and sore so I’d tried to leave well alone and leave them open to heal but a week later they are still oozing and sore. Should I cover them? Use some kind of cream? I’m rubbish at treating minor stuff, give me a broken leg any day! Grin

Maybe see if you can see the nurse at your surgery to have a look. Or ask a pharmacist if they can advise on something you could use from the chemist.
