VIDEO TRANSCRIPT
Cuts and scrapes are a part of childhood. In most cases, they're not serious and can be treated at home.
If the wound is bleeding, press sterile gauze or a clean cloth firmly on it until the bleeding stops.
Hold the area under cool, gentle running water. You can also use bottled water or saline wound spray.
Remove any debris by rubbing gently with a clean cloth or use clean tweezers.
Don't apply any cleaning or disinfecting solutions to the wound. They don't help and will only cause pain.
Use a bandage to cover the wound until a scab has formed. An antibiotic ointment will help keep the bandage from sticking to the wound.
You can use a Steri-strip or butterfly bandage to pull the edges of a superficial cut closer together. Don't use ointments as they'll prevent the bandage from sticking to the skin.
Change the dressing every day or more often if it gets wet or dirty.
Once a cut or scrape has formed a scab, you can leave it open to the air. If the scrape is in an area that's likely to get irritated or dirty, keep it covered.
• When your child cuts or scrapes themself, hold the wounded area under cool water and remove any debris with a cloth or tweezers.
• Cover the wound with a bandage and ointment until a scab has formed.
• Change the dressing every day or more often if it gets wet or dirty.
