Generally a bandage wouldn't be used post drainage.

A simple stoma (like) bag would be popped over the opening and left to dry out.

If the output is still high, a pressure dressing may be used, but is slightly unconventional.

Do you put a bandage over mupirocin?

Yes, you can apply a bandage over mupirocin ointment after applying it to a wound or infection site. This helps protect the area and keeps the medication in contact with the skin. However, if the area is large or the bandage causes irritation, it may be best to leave it uncovered to allow for proper airflow. Always follow your healthcare provider's instructions regarding bandaging and medication application.

Should you leave cuts and scrapes uncovered?

Yes you should leave cuts and scrapes uncovered, unless they are serious which can cause infection. The wind helps to heal them if you cover them they will stay moist and juice, you can also try putting some B.N.T powder on them so they will stay dry You should bandage them until they build their own protective scab. After that the scab is the bandage and will dry out and fall off when fully healed.

Which skinned knee will heal faster with it covered with a bandage or left alone?

a skinned knee that is not covered with a bandage willl heal faster. If uncovered the wound will form a scab faster. You should cover the scrape initially, then allow the wound to "breath" for a period of time. If pain subsides when the wound is covered, then at least uncover the wound while you sleep. If you leave a single bandage on for a long period of time without removing it, the bandage could scab to your scrape. As the blood dries it will hold to the bandage, and it is very painful to remove it. My advice is to cover the wound when needed, but leave it uncovered whenever possible.
