God bless you Dr. Jefferson! I’ve always been told to let wounds “breathe” because I’ve always gotten injuries from being active and an athlete. Many were open wounds too! Now, I understand why so many of them scared.
You really care about us and it shows! Thank you 🙏🏾

Wow! I've always heard to let the wound get air. Thanks for the educational information. We truly appreciate you Dr. Jefferson!

[geoffwright]

Thank you for explaining it. This is why I watch you. Keep up the good work.

[margaretdillinger]

Oh my word. I loved your facial expressions, it told it all.😊😅😂❤

[tracyfultz]

The exasperation on your face is hilarious! I JUST had to deal with this issue this past week. I have a scratch on my cheek and every time I smiled it cracked because it would dry out (and I smile a LOT!) Ever since then, I’ve been putting ointment on it constantly and it’s healing up beautifully! THANKS, Doc!

Dr. Jefferson knows more about medicine than primary care! I hope the next administration appoints him as the Secretary of Health because he's America's Doctor=)

[missmaris]

Sounds like she needs a new Doctor. I always heard let it get air. Never knew not to do that. Thank you.

[judymcdougall]

I never knew that either. Thank you Dr Jefferson. You are the best😊

[skuhlemeyer]

I loved your expression. It said everything. You ought to get into acting

[katiestmarie]

Lol I could feel your frustration when paused and your eye started twitching 😂

[geoffwright]

I am diabetic & I learn from you. Keep up the good work. ❤

[joemramos]

Yes, proper microclimate. Totally agree doc. I hear so many primary MDs teaching this to patients.

- Wound Specialist Nurse. 😊

[mysticalheiress]

Thank you. So much misinformation we hear. I'm a diabetic and had a wound and my podiatrist was telling me to keep it dry but kept forming a hard scab. I took your advice and the wound healed. I wish you were here in Dallas.

[lindaspradlin]

Your expression says it all! Another hoot! 😜

[annedrysdale]

How many days should the bandaid and antibiotic cream be applied? Love your comedic talents! 😂

I hit my forehead in December 2022 which resulted in 4 🪡. I kept my wound covered as told by the doctor, no scar tissue and no scar! Keep the wound covered.

[agoddessadiva]

Sorry for my ignorance, but I never knew that a wound needs moisture and not dryness. Thank you very much for this piece of important info that I needed to hear.

[nkyimkyim]

Okay…did not know that! I’ve also been told to let there be air, so to speak.

Why the conflicting information within the medical community? thanks for telling people the truth

[DesireDivine]

What if it’s glue instead of stitches?
