    Isn’t traditional gauze bandaging supposed to be paired with a dressing, that would usually keep the wound from drying out?

      I was raised to always put a bead of Neosporin under the bandage but that’s just Vaseline with some antiseptic ingredients

        Yep! Perfectly good dressing for most minor wounds! Although I think the triple antibiotic hasn’t been shown to have much benefit when compared to Vaseline alone.
