Abrasion aftercare

Scraped my hand on April 7th. 3cm x 3cm wound at the bottom palm.

  • If the doctor/nurse does not know vaseline gauze dressing works better than common gauze, inform them
  • Silicon gel gauze is even bettern than vaseline one in terms of non-stickiness, but hopspitals does not usually have this
  • Iodophor, gauze, and medical adhesive plaster is all you need to tend to the wound
  • Dressing should be changed at most every 24 hours even at late stage. Failure to do so could cause infection (dead skins are perfect food for fungus and alike)

The wound completely healed after 2 weaks without ever scabbing.
