Of abrasions to make them heal faster?

In daily life, we will inevitably encounter some small accidents, such as abrasions. Although abrasions may seem insignificant, if they are not properly handled, they are likely to leave ugly scars. Let's take a look at how to deal with such small wounds at home.

How to deal with abrasions?

1. Disinfect with iodine first, circling from the inside to the outside, and disinfect the 3cm area of the wound.

2. Use saline solution to gently press and wipe the area to make sure there are no wounds stones or foreign objects.

Be careful not to use irritating disinfectants such as alcohol and iodine to avoid aggravating the irritation and pain of the wound.

After cleaning the wound, gently cover it with sterile gauze to avoid bacterial infection. If the wound bleeds a lot, you can apply a little pressure to bandage it but don't bandage it too tightly to avoid affecting blood circulation.

How to use hydrocolloid dressings?

When using a hydrocolloid dressing, make sure the wound is clean. Then, choose the right hydrocolloid dressing based on the size and shape of the wound. Remove the dressing from its packaging and gently apply it to the wound, making sure it fits snugly. If the dressing is too large, trim it to the appropriate size ( generally, the dressing should be two centimeters larger than the wound border ). Change the dressing regularly during use. Generally, change it every 2-3 days. If the dressing is contaminated or has excessive exudate, it should be changed promptly. When changing the dressing, gently remove the old dressing to avoid tearing the wound. Then, clean the wound with saline and apply a new hydrocolloid dressing.

Moisturizing effect: Hydrocolloid dressings can absorb wound exudate, forming a moist healing environment, which is conducive to the growth and repair of epithelial cells.

Relieve pain: The soft texture and conformability of hydrocolloid dressings can reduce the pain of wounds.

Reduce scar formation: Through moisturizing and antibacterial effects, hydrocolloid dressings can promote wound healing and reduce scar formation.

Tips:

After an abrasion, the wound needs a certain amount of time to heal. During this period, avoid excessive activities to avoid aggravating the burden on the wound. Eat more foods rich in vitamin C and protein, such as fruits, vegetables, lean meat, etc., which will help the wound heal. Try to avoid direct sunlight to avoid aggravating pigmentation and scars.

By using the right care methods such as hydrocolloid dressings, we can effectively reduce the formation of scars and make wounds heal faster and better.
