bite.

The wound is not clean, such as a rusty knife or contact with contaminants such as dirt.

There is a foreign object stuck in the wound.

The wound is bleeding heavily and the bleeding does not stop after 5 minutes of pressure. All of the above situations require medical intervention: debridement, suturing, hemostasis,

Prevention of special infections (tetanus, rabies vaccine, etc.) and other treatments. Other minor injuries can be treated at home.

Do this to avoid scabs and heal wounds faster

A large number of studies have confirmed that moist wound healing heals faster and is less likely to produce scars. Therefore, after cleaning the wound, you need to provide the wound with a "gentle place" for growth, that is, keep the wound moist.

The main method is here

1. Use wound dressing;

2. A thin layer of antibiotic ointment or appropriate vaseline;

3. In short, do not let the wound be exposed to the air and "dried".

This will minimize pain, promote healing, and avoid scarring.

What are the most common injuries in children? HOW DOES IT HANDLE?

The most common external injury in children is abrasion, commonly known as "a little scrape of the skin", which means that the surface of the skin is scratched and there is a little bleeding. When the abrasion area is large, it will look like a large red area, but parents do not need to worry, because the actual amount of bleeding is very small, and it is mostly seen in the elbow and knee joints.

Home first aid measures: The most important treatment is to clean the wound surface, because embedded dirt may cause infection.

Step 1: Rinse the wound with clean water (such as medical saline, purified water, distilled water, mineral water) to remove dirt on the skin surface.

Step 2: You can use warm soapy water to clean the heavily contaminated skin around the wound.

Step 3: After rinsing, apply complex iodine on the wound surface. Allow the wound to heal naturally in the air.

Special note: If the wound is large or still exudates after treatment, it needs to be simply bandaged with sterile or medical gauze. Of course, most abrasions will scab over without treatment, which is the best natural way to heal. It is not recommended to use Band-Aids in this situation.
