Wounds can be made less swollen by braking, pressure bandages, cold or hot compresses, and sterilization.
Wounds generally refer to traumatic wounds, such wounds are often accompanied by both skin surface breakage and skin soft tissue damage, the causes of swelling in such wounds include oozing and edema in the soft tissues, and inflammatory swelling caused by infection of the skin surface breakage wounds, and the treatment can be rest, braking, to avoid further damage and edema in the local soft tissues during exercise.
In addition, pressure bandage can be applied to promote the reflux and absorption of edema fluid in the local tissues by applying external force; within 24 hours of the trauma, cold compresses can be applied to reduce the local edema, and after 24 hours of the trauma, hot compresses can be applied to promote the absorption of local edema fluid.
Since local skin breakage can lead to infection and then inflammation and swelling, infection can be prevented by disinfecting the area with an antiseptic such as povidone-iodine. If a skin wound develops, follow your doctor’s instructions for treatment.
