Hi, alt1268:
I have been following your advice, Catra's advice, and the advice of her boyfriend for a while now.
On Friday, February 24, the gauze pads of my dressing, including the special Urgotul textile mesh used between the Flammazine cream on my scraped knee wound and the first of the six gauze pads, felt stuck to my wound, even though the Urgotul textile mesh was supposed to prevent this from happening. For more information about Urgotul, which some of you may never have heard of, please click on (or type in the url box if the link does not work) the following:

I pulled my dressing very carefully and slowly away from my wound, which did not get reinjured despite my doing this.
When I looked at my dressing, I noticed something strange: there was no pus on my dressing anymore. Instead, there was some reddish to brownish colored stuff, dried and stuck to the Urgotul textile mesh and to the first gauze pad. First, I thought this stuff was dried blood. A few minutes later, while examining this stuff, my thought was that this stuff looked like dried, very thin scab.
Afterwards, I looked at my scraped knee wound. There was no pus or other liquid on my wound. The red color all around my wound had disappeared and had changed to a very dark pink to purple color. My wound itself was dark pink also, but not as dark colored as the very dark pink to purple color surrounding my wound.
The only problem is that the pain in my wound has not changed much. I guess my RSD is to blame for this.
It seems to me (but maybe I am dreaming) that my scraped knee wound is starting to heal. If this is really the case, I sincerely hope nothing will come in the way and stop this healing.
Now, for my dressing, I only use some Urgotul textile mesh with one 10 centimeters X 10 centimeters gauze pad folded in two. The dressing is kept into place with some surgical tape, which I hope will not cause any electrical discharges to my RSD skin, the skin on which the surgical tape is taped.
Thanks for your information.
P.S. I checked the link by clicking on it after I posted my message; it is working. I forgot to mention the information is in English.
