There are people who don’t like going to the emergency room to get it fixed. What does? There are many reasons for this, ranging from shame to fear. If you’re the type of person who can handle self patching, you should know exactly how to do it.
First, you must identify the type of wound. Different scratches and cuts require different care.
Scratches: These are the fastest healing sores. You must wait for the liquid to clot before you can apply a waterproof dressing. You want to use a waterproof dressing because the dressing needs to stay on as long as possible to prevent bacteria from entering your body. You may not need to add a dressing because of how quickly the skin heals.
Burns – If you ever get a burn, the best way to treat it would be to apply a soothing gel. The cells have been damaged by the extreme heat and the skin is quite sensitive. Control the pain either by adding Aloe Vera products or aqueous creams.
Superficial wounds: You may notice that they refuse to close in short periods of time, often leaving you with permanent scarring. Before you heal it, you need to hold the area that is bleeding above your head. This prevents blood from leaking out of that part of your body. Eventually it should coagulate and it will be safe to relax your body. Keep this wound open so it can dry. It’s also a good idea to gently apply antiseptic chemicals while it heals. Thereafter, place a bandage around the area so that it is protected from breaking the skin and gives the wound a chance to heal. You need to rid the area of any bacteria as much as possible.
Vein Hit – You might slip and fall, ending up on a piece of broken glass. Accidents happen so fast. You never know what could happen. You should apply as much pressure as possible to this area. The more pressure you apply, the less blood will escape. Once again, you want to keep this part of your body above your head so that not too much blood is released. You will also need to apply ice to thicken the blood.
You should consult a doctor if any serious accident occurs or if you are not sure how to treat the injury. Stitches are the fastest and easiest way to mend. Antiseptic chemicals and plasters can be found at any cash and carry retailer or wholesaler, so it might be a good idea to keep some in stock for these eventualities. Hospitals often prioritize obtaining these chemicals for quick treatment against bacteria.
