How to Clean a Wound | First Aid Training

Clean your own hands first. Wash your hands so that you don't introduce any infection into the wound. If it's bleeding, you want to stop the bleeding. Get a clean cloth. Get gauze. Get a menstrual pad. Put it on there and put pressure on there for a good 10 minutes. Once the bleeding has stopped, wash it out with soap and water. If there's any debris in there, you want to get that out. Any dirt or grit or anything like that, you want to get it out. If there's dirt or grit that you can't get out, that you've tried and tried and you still think there's stuff in there, you need to call the doctor. Otherwise, put antibiotic ointment on it. Cover it up with a bandage and keep it on. Change it every 24 hours unless it gets dirty or wet or it seeps through. With a scrape or a cut, if there's skin flapping over, if it's little, less than one centimeter by one centimeter, you can just put antibiotic ointment over it and cover it up. If it's bigger than that, go talk to your doctor. If your cut or your scrape is big, apply pressure and go talk to your doctor.

She basically says, "Go to the doc, go to the doc, go to the doc, else go to the doc"

If your body is exposed to pathogens it will develop resistance. The trick is to find the line between unnecessary treatment and necessary treatment. I have had many wounds larger than described that I have left my body to deal with (after cleaning it properly) and turned out great.

If the wound didint pierced completly the skin and didint touched the muscles then u can just wash the wound with water, but if u did that in some old metal u should visit a doctor

I got a cut yesterday and I wash it twice a day, and put on coconut oil once a day to moisturize it. It's already gotten better, and it was bleeding the first day so all this stuff is kinda unnecessary. 🤷🏼‍♀️

I have some dirt left in my wound, its just a little. Does anyone know a harsher way to clean a wound than scrubing with cloth under running water? Obviously, not so harsh to the point that i make my wound worse, but harsh enough to clean.
