How to deal with baby’s face scratched by nails?

If you have a baby at home, he or she definitely needs special care. However, some accidents are unavoidable, especially scratches on the baby's face by his nails, which is a problem that many parents tend to overlook. But things have already happened, and there is no point in thinking about them anymore. The best thing to do is to treat the wound in a timely manner. So the question is, how to deal with baby's nail scratches on the face?

Since babies' nails grow much faster than adults', generally, the nails of a 2-month-old baby grow at a rate of 0.01mm per day, or about 3cm per month. If fingers grow too long and are not trimmed, the nails can easily harbor dirt and become a source of transmission of various diseases; long nails can also break easily and even injure your fingers. If your baby has atopic dermatitis or is bitten by a mosquito, he or she will often scratch uncontrollably, which can easily break his or her tender skin and even cause infection. Therefore, trimming your baby's nails regularly can keep the skin clean and prevent diseases from entering the body through the mouth!

Emergency first aid for accidentally scratching your face

When cutting nails, if you accidentally hurt the baby's fingers, or if the baby scratches his face, you should first press the wound with sterilized gauze or cotton balls until the bleeding stops, then apply some iodine disinfectant or anti-inflammatory ointment. It is best to go to a dermatologist for a check-up.
