Broken skin is gauze package or drying good

The fall broke the skin, need to take measures according to the specific situation, the patient does not need to entangle so gauze package or drying good argument. Broken skin is generally not serious, may only appear epidermal peeling or slight bleeding, a short period of time can be self-healing, no need to bandage or use drugs. If the bruise surface pain, swelling, try ice pack cold compresses to relieve symptoms. Usually when the patient does not have severe bleeding and open wounds after a fall, they can be left unbandaged and only need to clean the surface of the wound with water to clean the dust, blood and other contaminants, and then apply iodophor to disinfect. Under normal circumstances, a small amount of bleeding and minor skin breakage can be recovered by the body’s ability to regenerate, but patients are advised to keep the disinfected wound clean and dry on the day of injury to avoid infection caused by water exposure. For patients with heavy bleeding, or large open wounds, they need to go to the hospital for debridement to avoid bacterial infection. At the same time, after debridement and treatment, you need to use sterile gauze dressing to avoid exposure of the wound to air, which may cause microbial infestation leading to infection. If the patient is exposed to contaminants such as rusted wire, screws, iron plates, etc. during the fall, or if the wound is not treated correctly and in a timely manner causing infection, a tetanus shot may be required to prevent the occurrence of Clostridium tetani infection that could endanger the patient’s life. In addition, scabs will form during wound healing, and forcibly tearing them off at this time will expose the tender basal skin, which may even cause breakage and bleeding, and may also cause infection, so patients should let the scabs fall off on their own. At the same time, during the wound healing period, due to the re-growth of granulation tissue and tissue cells, it may stimulate the mucous membrane and nerves causing itchiness in the wound area, so do not scratch to avoid breaking and prolonging the wound recovery time.
