Guidelines for taking care of minor wounds such as cuts or scrapes
Wash Your Hands
Wash your hands with a hygiene soap to help avoid infection
Stop The Bleeding
Usually minor wounds stop bleeding on their own. If not, you can apply gentle pressure by using a sterile bandage or a clean cloth and elevate the wound
Clean The Wound
Use clean water to rinse the wound, clean around the wound with a diluted antiseptic liquid and cotton wool and cleaning the wound with antiseptic liquid can help reduce the risk of infection
Apply Antiseptic Cream
Apply a thick layer of antiseptic cream to the wound to help keep the surface moist
Cover The Wound
A bandage or Band-Aid plaster can help to keep the wound clean and keep harmful bacteria out but if it is a minor scrape or scratch, leave it uncovered
Change Band-Aid Plaster
Change the bandage or Band-Aid plaster at least once a day or when the bandage or Band-Aid plaster becomes wet or dirty
