Abrasion refers to the skin surface being scratched by sharp objects or sharp instruments, resulting in skin injury and bleeding. For children's scratches, the use of hydrogen peroxide is a treatment that can be considered.
Hydrogen peroxide, also called hydrogen peroxide solution, is a common disinfectant. It can kill germs and bacteria by releasing oxygen, which helps to clean wounds and prevent infection.
There are several points to pay attention to when treating scratches with hydrogen peroxide. First, gently clean the dirt around the wound with warm water, and then gently apply proper amount of hydrogen peroxide to the wound with gauze or cotton ball. Excessive friction or excessive pressure should be avoided in the application process to avoid further damage. If the wound is large or bleeding is serious, it is recommended to seek medical help from a professional doctor in time.
It is worth noting that although hydrogen peroxide has disinfection effect, it is not suitable for all types of wounds. For example, for deep wounds, severe bleeding, or suspected deep tissue damage such as muscles and bones, you should seek medical treatment immediately and be treated by a professional doctor.
If your child is allergic to hydrogen peroxide or has other uncomfortable reactions, such as redness, itching or increased pain, please stop using it immediately and consult a doctor.
Hydrogen peroxide is a feasible method to treat children's scratches. However, the wound should be cleaned before use to avoid excessive friction. For large or serious wounds and bleeding, you must seek professional help in time. Finally, remind parents to keep clean when dealing with wounds to avoid infection.
