Cuts and Wounds

Cuts vary from damages on the skin tissues to damages on the muscles and nerves, while wounds may be punctured holes from as small as a pin to as big as an animal fang.  Small cuts and wounds may be remedied at home by cleaning the area, stopping the bleeding, disinfecting the cut or wound, and bandaging.

First, the area has to be cleansed by running it through water or washing it with a clean piece of cloth.  Then, pressure must be applied to the cut or wound with the use of a clean cloth in order to stop the flow of blood.  Afterwards, the cut or wound must be disinfected by washing it once again with water and optional use of soap, more carefully and thoroughly.  Finally, a fresh bandage would do just right to help the cut or wounded skin to repair its damaged tissues or muscles, while also protecting it from elements that may aggravate it if it was exposed.

If it doesn’t heal after a couple of weeks, this would mean an infection has occurred, and it would be best to ask for the doctor’s help before it becomes worse. Such an action is also recommended if the cut or wound is deep and/or large and bleeds a lot in the first place.
