Parents: Tips on Caring for Cuts and Scrapes
(ARA) - It?s something every parent has experienced. It?s
a beautiful day and your children are outside having fun at
a playground, backyard barbecue or party when an accidental
scrape or minor cut turns the laughter into tears. Once a
child is reassured that he/she will be OK, here?s what you
need to know to promote proper healing so that everyone can
get back to enjoying the sun:
1) The first thing to remember is that any time there is a
break in the skin, there is danger of infection, so make
sure to wash your hands properly before caring for the
wound. And although you might do it with the best
intentions, do not blow on the wound to comfort your child
and ?make the pain go away,? as it introduces germs to the
area.
2) Most minor wounds usually stop bleeding on their own,
but if they don't, apply direct pressure to the wound with
a non-stick pad or gauze pad until it stops.
3) Once the bleeding has stopped, clean the wound using
lukewarm, running water to wash away surface particles and
dirt. If dirt or debris remains embedded in the wound after
washing with warm running water, seek medical attention.
Don't attempt to remove embedded particles by yourself.
4) Cleaning the area around the wound with soap and water
reduces the risk of infection. Try to keep soap out of the
wound itself because soap can cause irritation and make
sure to always wipe away from the wound to avoid
contamination.
5) Most minor cuts and scrapes will heal just fine without
antibiotic ointment, but applying a product such as
SilvaSorb Gel can speed healing and has been shown to be
effective against MRSA and other antibiotic-resistant
organisms.
6) Although some people may say to let the wound
?breathe,? the most current medical advice is to cover it
up with an adhesive bandage. Curad makes a unique island
pad, where the adhesive surrounds the non-stick pad, that
helps seal out dirt and germs. They also make special
bandages that are designed to fit kid-sized wounds and are
filled with fun colors and characters that kids love.
7) Finally, be sure to cleanse the wound and change the
bandage at least daily or whenever it becomes wet or dirty.
In general, you should consult your doctor for all cuts
that are deep, large or continue bleeding -- they may
require stitches. Also see your doctor if the wound does
not heal in one week or less or if signs of infection
appear.
The more you and your children know about the proper way
to treat the cuts and scratches that accompany childhood
activity, the easier it will be to care for them and reduce
scarring. When in doubt about the severity of a wound,
whether stitches are necessary, or any time the child
continues to complain of pain or discomfort, consult your
pediatrician.

Personalized Clothing Caution
Although many parents decorate their children's T-shirts and
sweat shirts with the child's name, there is a risk involved
. Strangers can greet your child by name and appear to be a
friend. Be sure to teach your children to treat strangers as
strangers even if they seem to know your child's name.
