Why dangerous scratches?
Scratches and abrasions — These are shallow skin damage, violating its top layer. Scratch can be obtained anywhere — while walking in the forest or in the yard, playing with another child or with a cat. Simple mosquito bite if it combbles — this is the same abrasion. But although scratches and abrasions — it's damage to shallow, they, like any wound, — Open gate for infection.
Especially bad if the scratch is applied to the claws of the animal, the nail of a person or a contaminated subject, and also if dirt, land, any chemicals hit the wounder.
On animal claws, under the nails of a person there are always many microbes, so such scratches are healing for a long time if they are not treated. In the case of cat scratches, it is also necessary to remember the danger of lympreaticulosis — Pretty severe illness, which often called — Cat scratch disease.
If you were hurt about some rusty nail, or the dirt, earth, organic fertilizers got into the wound — There is a threat to get into the body of pathogens of such hazardous diseases like a tetanus, sepsis. But even if there is no severe consequence, the wound can simply inflame and leave behind the scar.
We treat scratches correct
How to handle small wounds? What you must remember yourself and what to teach your child? The most important — Primary treatment. Scratch should be definitely disinfected by hydrogen peroxide, alcohol tinctures. Polluted wounds pre-rinse with clean water. Then the wreck should be dried — Loose clean bandage, then apply an antiseptic.
Shallow abrasions and scratches are healing better if they leave them open after antiseptic processing. But you need to do everything to avoid re-infection.
Skip scratches with a plaster makes sense when it is necessary to stop the bleeding, and also if there is a risk of repeated injury to this skin area. The bandage makes sense to impose if the abrasion is extensive, the skin is damaged at a significant area — This will help protect the surface of the wound from random repeated damage. But remember that the dressings must be applied to the coolest wound, covered with a crust, so that the bandage does not stick to the wound. Otherwise, removing the bandage, you will keep your skin, and the wound will open again. Under the bandage on the wound you can apply the healing ointment.
If a child is going to play on the playground, it is worth closing any open wound (even abrasion or scratch) non-infant bandage. When a child returns home, remove the bandage.
