These Pictures were taken at the same time. They illustrate the slow process of gently removing absorption pads. I use these when I go outdoors. Its common that the pads are bloodied after wearing them for about 7+ hours. My wound may only bleed in one or two areas but because the pads are absorbent they will soak up the blood although slight for hours. After a few hours of this it may appear that the entire wound is bleeding but as the right picture illustrates my wound has two small spots of bleeding.
The puffiness around the edges are well illustrated and are actually the Pyoderma expanding. These puffy ridges produce extreme constant pain. The lower center doesn't produce the constant pain of the ridges but at times I feel a sharp stinging. Sharp enough to make me twitch out of a chair. These wide puffy ridges will last about a week and then they will settle down, the puffiness and a lot of the pain disappears. The Pyoderma will remain unchanged for about five days and then this puffy ridge will reappear in another region of the wound and it expands some more..
