4 common misunderstandings about wound care 1. Can alcohol prevent wound infection? Correct answer: Clean the wound with an alcohol-containing solution in just one go. Repeatedly applying alcohol to the wound will cause it to become overly dry and not conducive to wound recovery. 2. Minor wounds do not require care? Correct answer: As long as there is a break in the skin (bleeding can be seen), it should be properly cared for as soon as possible. 3. Will leaving the wound uncovered and allowing it to breathe help it heal faster? Correct answer: If the wound is exposed to the air, it will become dry and will not be conducive to recovery. 4. Does scab formation on the wound mean it will heal soon? Correct answer: When a wound forms a scab, the renewal of cells underneath is hindered, which prolongs the recovery time. Recommendation: If the wound has formed a scab, do not tear off the scab. Because touching and rubbing the wound, or allowing the wound to become infected, are not conducive to wound healing.
