Treating Cuts and Abrasions at Home Cuts and abrasions are common injuries that children and grown ups recieve mainly during outdoor activities. It's easy to tell the difference between a minor cut or abrasion to a more serious wound that requires medical attention. A minor cut or abrasion only affects the topmost layer of the skin. There may be some bleeding, but very slight. Little nicks, scrapes, and scratches happen all the time, always when you least expect it. These injuries are not serious. There is no need to rush to the nearest emergency room for a minor cut or abrasion. You can easily treat them at home with things that are already in your house - or should be. If bleeding has ocurred,a little plain granulated table sugar poured on the wound will help to stem the blood flow and let the blood clot. Also raising the cut area higher than the heart will help to stop the bleeding. The cut or abrasion then needs to be cleaned and any debris in the wound needs to be removed. (Note: if you cannot remove debris from the wound, see a doctor. Foreign matter leads to infection and must be removed.) Use plain clean water to clean the wound first. The next step is to disinfect the wound. Plain rubbing alcohol is an excellent disinfectant. It's true that the alcohol will cause a little burning or stinging, but disinfecting the wound must be done.You can also use hydrogen peroxide at 3% mix to steralise the wound. If you don't have an over-the-counter salve, use an aloe vera leaf to soothe and help heal the wound. Homemade salves and ointments made with tea tree, calendula and comfrey are effective in treating cuts and abrasions as well. For a better life click this link.
