First Aid & Wound Care
A wound that stays clean and covered heals faster and scars less than one left to dry out. Most homes have plasters but not much else that is actually useful.
What to know before you choose
- Moist wounds heal faster than dry ones. Letting a cut scab hard is the slower route.
- Antiseptic is for cleaning at the start, not for repeat application — it irritates healing tissue.
- Spreading redness, heat or throbbing after day two suggests infection, not healing.
