It is ok to let the wound get “aired out” during the time while you change the dressing. Otherwise, keeping the wound clean by cleansing and changing the dressing (as recommended by your provider), and keeping it covered with an ointment or packing material, with edges of the wound supported by a bandage, is the quickest way to heal. While some airing out (5-10 minutes while changing the dressing) of the wound is ok, excessive “airing out” might increase the risk of infection and impede healing.
