Foot scratches and bruises are very common in daily life, and careful medical care is required to avoid leaving any scars. Incorrect treatment may cause infection of the wound, resulting in the wound being unable to heal and leaving unsightly scars on the feet, which is a result that no one wants to happen. Well, here is a scientific way to deal with the wound caused by a scraped leg. Let’s learn together.

1. If the skin on your leg is scratched, you should first observe the condition of the wound. If the wound is shallow, it can be healed by itself. Use iodine tincture disinfectant to clean and disinfect the wound. After disinfection, try not to let the wound come into contact with dirt. Keep the wound clean and wait for the scar to heal naturally. If the wound is deep, go to the hospital immediately. For deeper wounds, the doctor will first perform professional debridement on the wound, and then give a tetanus shot to prevent serious infection. After going to the hospital to have the wound treated, you can go back home. The doctor will determine whether you need to go to the hospital to change the dressing based on the condition of the wound. The patient only needs to follow the doctor's instructions.

2. After a leg fall and skin break, medical care should be carried out properly after appropriate treatment to avoid infection of the wound. First of all, prevent the wound from contacting water and other dirt, and keep the wound dry and clean. The diet should be lighter as much as possible, and you can eat more foods rich in vitamins in moderation. Avoid eating spicy, greasy and other heavy-tasting foods, which will help the wound heal and scar as soon as possible. If you don't want to leave scars, you should pay attention to sun protection after the wound becomes festered to prevent the skin pigmentation of the affected area from leaving scars.

The treatment methods for leg scrapes are introduced above. First, you need to judge whether medical treatment is needed based on the severity, size, and contamination of the wound. If the condition is serious, you need to go to the hospital for debridement and bandaging to avoid wound infection caused by incorrect self-treatment. If the condition is mild and can be resolved by itself, the wound should be disinfected. After disinfection, the wound should be prevented from coming into contact with water and kept dry.
