Remove the present wound dressing as directed by your doctor -- typically every day to at most weekly. The change rate depends mostly on the amount of drainage occuring. The more your wound drains, the more often you must change the covering.
Dip either a piece of absorbent gauze, if the wound is small, or a soft cotton cloth in a basin of warm, soapy water. Dab at your wound gently to clean the wound and remove blood and debris. Avoid making the wound bleed fresh blood -- if you cause the wound to bleed, you are rubbing too hard, according to the Ohio State University Medical Center.
Inspect the wound for signs of infection: red, swollen, hot-feeling flesh surrounds the wound, a "sick" odor comes from the wound or a foul-looking pus draining from the wound, on top of a fever. Seek medical attention immediately in these circumstances.
Spread any medicated product prescribed by your doctor, according to instructions; if you did not consult a doctor, apply a generous layer of triple antibiotic ointment across the wound. Do not apply so much that it squeezes out from under the bandage, but make sure it is enough to coat the wound without absorbing into the wound dressing.
Place absorbent gauze pads over top the wound. Wrap with absorbent gauze in rolled form, encircling the wounded area loosely with several layers. Secure with tape to hold in place.
