Hi, I had cotton wool put on my deep wound with neosporin, now I cannot remove the cotton. I've tried saline and soaking it like the pharmacist recommended, but it seems like it's stuck to the wound. How can I remove it?

Thanks.

Try hydrogen peroxide let it soak and do the bubbling for a few minutes keep poring more on it to let it soak completly then try to carefully wipe it away. Hope it works good luck

Ok, but wouldn't it burn ? I have a feeling the wound is not completely recovered as it was pretty deep.

Thanks.
