Is an open wound a local infection?
Yes, an open wound (cut, scratch, ect.) is considered a local infection. However, if left untreated, the local infection can turn into a systemic infection, affecting organs and tissues all over. For example, septicemia is considered to be a systemic infection (bacteria and other pathogenic organisms in the blood stream) that can occur from a simple cat scratch or other open wound. To prevent such a horrendous infection, maintain proper sterile technique and wound maintenance so bacteria and other pathogenic organisms cannot infiltrate the wound.

Right liliac pain moves distally and laterally to the left what region now?
iliac refers to your hip. so if you're moving distally (away from the thorax down the limb) and laterally (away from the midline) and the pain is in your right leg, then you would be on the outside of your right thigh. however, if you're on your right side and moving "to the left" you are moving medially, not laterally. hope this helped?
If germs multiply faster in a warm moist environment then why do doctors say wounds heal faster if kept moist and covered?
If you scrape your arm, if you look at your arm, you won't be seeing bacteria; you'll be seeing where the skin has been removed from your arm. The wound will clot decently quickly, and then the new skin will form and the scab can come off. If you keep the wound cold and dry (or hot and dry), your skin cells will be damaged (or at least impaired somehow), leaving them less able to divide and form new skin, making the wound take longer to heal. Of course, as you point out, germs like warm, moist environments. This is precisely why people put chemicals such as hydrogen peroxide on cuts: the hydrogen peroxide will kill germs. I suppose it could also damage the tissue around the wound, but then again, your outer layer of skin is dead anyway, and pretty much the only thing that's alive on top of your skin is germs. That way, you no longer have so many germs on the wound, and your skin is left mostly intact.
