Also is there any way to remove the Stinging Gauze? I didnt realize it was going to take solong to heal

my agility and strength are both down huge now :p
You can take a stone and make a stockpile out of it(right-click with the stone anywhere on the ground, and then left click somewhere with the stockpile that appears). If the stockpile's color is gray, it's just normal stone. If the stockpile is red/brown, it's ore. Here you have list of ores:

Do you mean stinging poultice? You can't remove it before it heals your wound. And believe me, it's healing fast. Wait until you get wretched gore and have to suffer a month or two of -10 Perc, Agi and Charisma.
