Introduction
Under normal circumstances, "Huang Bai Ye" refers to the Compound Phellodendron Liquid Topical Solution. Whether to continue using the Compound Phellodendron Liquid Topical Solution after scab formation depends on the specific condition of the wound. If the wound has already formed a scab but there are still signs of infection around it, the Compound Phellodendron Liquid Topical Solution can usually be continued. However, if the wound has healed well with no symptoms of infection, continued use of the Compound Phellodendron Liquid Topical Solution may not be necessary.

Generally speaking, the term "Huangbai Liquid" refers to the Compound Huangbai Liquid Topical Agent. Whether to continue using the Compound Huangbai Liquid Topical Agent after the wound has formed a scab depends on the specific condition of the wound. If the wound has scabbed over but there are still signs of infection around it, the Compound Huangbai Liquid Topical Agent can usually be continued. However, if the wound has formed a good scab with no signs of infection, it is not recommended to continue using the Compound Huangbai Liquid Topical Agent. If any discomfort occurs, it is advisable to seek timely medical consultation at a hospital for standardized treatment under a doctor's guidance. The specific analysis is as follows:

As a topical medication, Compound Huangbai Liquid Topical Agent is commonly used in the treatment of skin inflammation, eczema, burns, and other conditions, and has functions of clearing heat, removing dampness, astringency, and stopping bleeding. If the wound has formed a scab but there is still redness, swelling, exudate, or signs of infection around it, the Compound Huangbai Liquid Topical Agent can be continued, which helps further promote wound healing.

However, if the wound has formed a good scab, with no redness, swelling, or exudate, and healing has already begun beneath the scab, then it is unnecessary to continue using the Compound Huangbai Liquid Topical Agent. It is important, however, to maintain proper local hygiene and care, and to avoid scratching the scab with the hands in order to prevent secondary infection.

During the wound healing process, maintaining good personal hygiene habits and avoiding secondary contamination of the wound will help promote faster healing.
