Proper wound care: How to minimize a scar

Whenever your skin is injured – whether by accident or from surgery – your body works to repair the wound. As your skin heals, a scar may form, as this is a natural part of the healing process.

I injured my knee so bad cause i was running and tripped over A STUPID ROCK

I took a chunk out of my knee, it got all the way to the tissue and it took 3 months to heal. But then I scraped the same spot again and it just taking 3 weeks so far!! Wish me luck 😂😂 and I know I'm super clumsy

Changing bandage daily is non-sensical one-size-fits-all advice. Removing bandage too frequently without letting sufficient time for the wound to heal may risk opening it again and delay healing. Instead, exercise judgement based on how dirty or worn out the bandage becomes.

Getting out of the Airport is very dangerous when walking to the terminal to get your baggage. There is an upper lip on the way out, and I caught my shoe through it, which caused me to fall on my knee only to experience Black and Blue all through my leg. That was a real nasty feeling.

I applied TCA chemical peel on my "stick and poke" "tats" on my hand in the instructions it said 1-2 days after application it will turn yellowish or greenish and be pinkish or reddish around it and keep applying antibiotic ointment after properly cleaning the area, it's been 5 days and it's just now turned yellowish like puss under the skin, I've put the antibiotic ointment on and let it air dry then put bandaids on them before bed, I feel like the one out of 5 of them isn't healing as it should. Dumb decision for doing them when I was 16 and dumb decision by applying the TCA on them now at 18, should've just went with my laser tattoo removal appointment and paid the 600 bucks instead of my hand having even more scars after they are healed, lesson learned after this. Definitely will be going to have my 4 not so professional big tats removed from my thighs.
Definitely going to try vaseline "petroleum jelly" on it now.

I chased after my dog to keep him from fighting another dog and tripped spectacularly. Now I have multiple scrapes over my left leg.
At least my dog is safe.

My son had a scrap on his chin. We used regular ointment, but not the other jelly. It's healing up pretty well, but can still see the pink skin where the scrap was. Hopefully the pinkish skin goes away.

I slid about a meter on concrete on my knees, and got a lot of wounds, and now it hurts if i bend my knees far enough. I can still walk and run slightly, but have difficulty doing most activities. One of the wounds is large and about half a centimeter deep into the tissue, while the others are all small holes lower on the knee from the grinding of the concrete. I currently wash it daily at noon with water, then with chlorhexidine before sealing it with a sheet of cotton and some medical tape so it doesn’t grind up against my pants and causes pain. I would like to know if there is anything i could be doing better? Kind reguards.
