Cut: what is it and how to treat it?

Cuts are small incised wounds that do not penetrate the entire thickness of the skin. They can be caused by various things such as knives, glass, metal objects and other sharp objects. The cuts can be painful and bleed, but usually heal fairly quickly and without complications.

But how to properly treat cuts? Here are some tips to help you recover quickly:

1. Stop the bleeding: If the cut is bleeding, stop the bleeding immediately using a clean cloth or bandage. Keep this tissue in place until the bleeding stops.

2. Clean the wound: Once the bleeding has stopped, rinse the wound with cold water to remove any dirt or other debris. Do not use soap or hydrogen peroxide, as they may slow the healing of the wound.

5. Monitor the wound: Monitor the wound and change the bandage daily. If the wound does not heal or becomes deeper, consult a doctor.
