Can you use Yunnan Baiyao if the circumcision wound shows red flesh?

Generally, when the circumcision wound shows red flesh, you can’t use Yunnan Baiyao to act on the wound directly. However, you can take Yunnan Baiyao capsules orally to stop bleeding and pain. Yunnan Baiyao is usually used for trauma-induced bruises, blood stasis, swelling and pain. Although it has the effect of removing blood stasis and stopping bleeding, it does not have the effect of sterilization. If Yunnan Baiyao is directly applied to the wound, it is likely to cause bacterial infection of the wound, which will aggravate the symptoms. However, patients can take Yunnan Baiyao capsules orally under the guidance of the doctor to achieve the purpose of relieving pain, stopping bleeding and reducing swelling. You can also disinfect the wound with iodine povidone, and then apply erythromycin ointment locally for anti-inflammatory treatment. Daily attention to keep the wound dry and clean, light diet, avoid spicy stimulating food, in order to promote the wound to recover as soon as possible. Medications should be applied under the guidance of a doctor.
