Hello dear,
Understand your concern.
You should take following measures:
1. If bleeding, apply pressure with a clean gauze until bleeding stops
Gently clean the area well with mild soap and water
2. Keep the area clean and dry
3. Put an antiseptic or antibiotic cream or ointment on the area if needed
4. To protect the area cover with a Band-Aid or gauze pad if needed, especially if the area is draining or large.
5. Avoid using harsh soaps and makeup on the area during healing.
Eat healthy meals and drink adequate amounts of water because essential nutrients aid
wound healing.
Use as few
skin care products as possible to avoid making the damaged skin worse or slow healing.
-
Neosporin or Bacitracin: decrease the risk of infection in superficial wounds. 1-3 times per day to the healing area, taking care not to damage the scab.
-
Aloe Vera may have antibacterial properties and can increase circulation in small blood vessels. This might aid healing of superficial scrapes and bruises.
-
Hydrogen peroxide can be used.
- honey, petrolium jelly and baking soda can be used.
Hope this may help you.
Best regards
Dr. Sagar
