How to treat a child's knee abrasion

In life, many parents are worried about their children's stumbling and bruised knees. Children are very active in normal times, so many children are most likely to bump their knees, which always easily leads to injuries to both legs. Therefore, if a child is accidentally scratched, it is necessary to do a good job of post-processing to prevent infection.

If it is shortly after the abrasion, especially when the wound has not yet formed a scar, care at this time is particularly important. To prevent wound infection, you can first disinfect the wound with medical alcohol, and then apply erythromycin ointment. Eat more foods rich in collagen, such as pig's trotters, beef tendons and bones, which are conducive to wound recovery. If this period of time has passed, once the scar is completely formed, the therapeutic effect of food will not be obvious.

After a period of time after the abrasion, if the scar has scabbed and the scab begins to fall off, you can cut fresh ginger into slices and apply it to the scabbed wound. Use it twice a day, each time for about 10 minutes, and keep using it for a week, because ginger can prevent scars from growing and forming bumpy scars.

Aloe vera liquid is very effective in repairing scars. If you don’t have aloe vera planted at home, you can go directly to the drugstore to buy some aloe vera cream to apply. Aloe vera has a good soothing effect on scars and congestion. Just apply it directly on the scar. After using it for a period of time, you can find that the skin in the used area has become much whiter.

If it happens to be summer and there are lotus leaves in the rural ponds, you can pick them, add wine to them, grind them into a paste, and apply it on the scars. It has a lightening effect on the scars. This is a method introduced by an elderly person in the countryside. Although I don't know the principle, I heard that it is effective.

Vitamin E can be used to remove acne marks and of course can also be used to repair scars. Since most of the vitamin E on the market is in the form of liquid capsules, you can directly pierce them with a needle and apply the liquid on the scars. It has the effect of whitening and repairing the skin. Of course, other vitamins have the same effect, but it is recommended to be taken orally.

If the abrasion scar has been formed for some time and there is no inflammation, you can apply garlic paste on the scar to lighten the scar. Although I don't know the principle, I have seen friends around me using it and also read about this method online.
