Most minor injuries can be treated at home. A small wound may threaten your health if it causes severe blood loss or becomes infected. Call your healthcare provider if a wound doesn\u2019t heal within a couple of weeks.<\/p>\n<p>Call your healthcare provider right away if:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>You can\u2019t stop the bleeding.<\/li>\n<li>The wound covers a large area, is deep, or you can see muscles, tendons or bones.<\/li>\n<li>You can&#8217;t move a part of an extremity such as a finger after a cut. This could mean that a tendon was cut<\/li>\n<li>Your ear or eye is injured or burned.<\/li>\n<li>The burn is larger than the size of your palm or is on your neck, face, foot, groin, or hand.<\/li>\n<li>A puncture wound is deep or wide or was caused by a dirty or rusty object.<\/li>\n<li>You have signs of infection: fever, pus, pain, or redness.<\/li>\n<li>It has been\u00a010\u00a0years or more since your last tetanus shot.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>If you\u2019re caring for someone else, remember to protect yourself from illnesses carried in blood and body fluids. Use gloves or whatever else is available (a towel, perhaps) as a barrier between you and the blood.<\/p>\n<p>Step 1. Control bleeding<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Apply direct pressure to a cut or scrape to stop bleeding.<\/li>\n<li>Allow a minor puncture wound to stop bleeding on its own unless the bleeding is heavy. This may help clean out the wound.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>Step 2. Clean the wound<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Kill germs and remove the dirt by washing the wound with clean, running water and soap.<\/li>\n<li>Soak a minor puncture wound in warm, sudsy water for several minutes. Repeat this at least\u00a02 times every day.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>Step 3. Cover the injury<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Hold the edges of a cut together with a butterfly bandage.<\/li>\n<li>Apply antibiotic ointment.<\/li>\n<li>For a cut or scrape, apply an adhesive bandage or clean gauze. Tape it in place.<\/li>\n<li>Cover a minor puncture with gauze to absorb drainage and let in air to help with healing.<\/li>\n<li>Cool the burn immediately. Otherwise, the skin continues to hold heat and will keep burning. Use cloths soaked in cool water, place the burned area under a gentle stream of cool water, or submerge the burn in a full sink or bucket.<\/li>\n<li>Treat a minor burn like you treat a minor cut or scrape. Clean and cover it with a loose dressing.<\/li>\n<li>Don&#8217;t put butter, oil, or ointment on a burn. This only seals in heat. After you cool the area, you can apply a moisturizer with Aloe vera (with or without a numbing agent) to soothe the burn.<\/li>\n<li>Don\u2019t break blisters or pull off skin from a broken blister. This skin helps protect the healing skin underneath.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>\u00a9 2000-2021 The StayWell Company, LLC. All rights reserved.
