What should I do if my child falls and scratches his face?

Children are naturally lively and active, and they are very curious about everything around them, so they often play everywhere. Children have no sense of safety, do not know how to protect themselves, and have poor body coordination, so they often fall. It is easy for children to get facial abrasions when they fall to the ground. At this time, the following solutions should be taken.

What should I do if my child falls and scratches his face?

Although there are medical methods for treating some wounds, children's facial skin is relatively tender. Once serious abrasions occur, the correct treatment plan at the first time will be particularly critical, especially for wounds that have penetrated deep into the dermis. Not only do they need to pay special attention during the entire treatment process, but parents also need to pay special attention to skin protection during daily care, especially the cleanliness of the wound area, and take effective infection prevention measures in advance. So, how should we deal with facial abrasions on children?

First, disinfect the wound with iodine. Iodine tincture has a very good bactericidal and disinfecting effect. It is mainly suitable for treating wounds and bleeding on the surface of the skin. It has a good effect on killing some bacteria and viruses. Experts recommend: For some small and shallow wounds, you can use mercurochrome or iodine in time, apply it evenly around the wound, and then wrap it with clean sterile gauze. Depending on the situation, change the dressing and disinfect regularly.

Second, put on a Band-Aid. Band-Aids are also known as "hemostatic plasters". They not only protect wounds, but also have a hemostatic effect. If the baby's face is abraded, the area is relatively small, and the wound is very shallow, a Band-Aid can be used to stop bleeding and protect the wound. Experts recommend: After the baby is injured, if there is no iodine or mercurochrome, you can clean the wound with clean water in time, or apply antibacterial ointment, and finally put on a Band-Aid.

Third, Dragon Ball Ointment. Dragon Ball Ointment not only has the effect of removing dead tissue and promoting tissue regeneration, but also has a very good effect on reducing swelling and relieving pain. Moreover, this ointment does not contain hormones and can be used on the baby's tender skin. It is safe and non-toxic. Experts suggest: When parents help their children choose antibacterial ointments, they need to pay special attention to the children’s wounds and the delicate skin. They need to choose ointments that do not contain hormones. This will safely and effectively help the baby stop bleeding and protect the wound.

Fourth, apply vitamin E or C. Vitamin E can penetrate the skin to achieve a moisturizing effect, promote rapid wound healing, and maintain skin elasticity; Vitamin C has the effect of whitening and nourishing the skin. For scars that are slightly darker in color, applying vitamin C can be used to whiten them, making the surrounding healthy skin consistent in tone with the scar. Expert advice: When choosing vitamin E capsules, you can puncture them with a needle before use, and then apply the liquid evenly on the scar, gently rubbing for 5-10 minutes each time, twice a day.
