<h2 class = 'uawtitle'>Kids Healthy - Abrasions Cuts and Scratches</h2><div style='font-style:italic;' class='uawbyline'>by Soraia Bauer</div><div class='uawarticle'><br />Sometimes abrasions, cuts and scratches result in dire consequences if they aren't taken care of at the right time. Children run around the house and drop vases and other glass material, which can result in scratches or cuts. Outdoor activities should be supervised carefully, otherwise abrasions caused by a wall or a rock is unavoidable. There are slight differences among the three and most of the time children get them while playing. <br />
<br />
Cuts are caused by sharp objects, which can penetrate into the skin or damage the skin on the surface. Scratches are mild form of cuts. They are also caused by sharp objects such as a piece of glass, thorn or a knife. Even fingernails can cause a scar. Abrasion is caused by friction or rubbing of the skin with a rough surface. Rug burns and board burns are also examples of abrasion, because they are caused by friction. <br />
<br />
Also, in all three cases, the wound can bleed. It bleeds when the tiny blood vessels located underneath the skin gets ruptured. Platelets form clot to stop the bleeding and a scab can also form, which should be pulled out as that will interfere with the healing process of the body. If the bleeding isn't stopping, the wound should be covered with a soft cloth. After that the wound should be cleaned using lukewarm water and mild soap. Antibacterial ointment should be used to clean the wound and it should be covered with a bandage. The antibacterial ointment helps kill germs. The bandage will prevent bacteria from getting within and prevent the wound from getting bothersome. But the bandage should be changed everyday and the wound should be kept dry.<br />
<br />
The good thing is that abrasion, cuts and scratches don't require any special attention in most cases. But if the scratch is prefabricated by animal claws or abrasion is caused by a rusty metallic surface, a doctor should be approached immediately, because the animal could have rabies and the rust can cause septic. Depending on the situation, the doctor would prescribe antibiotics, lotion or even shots. It is also a good intent that parents make sure that their kid is given tetanus shot on a regular basis. Sometimes, the wound won't be caused in chanceful circumstances, but because of negligence, the wound will get infected by bacteria. If it the wound is infected, it will show symptoms such as redness, swollen skin, and production of pussycat which can be of the colour yellow or either green.<br />
<br />
In such cases, stitches should be positively opted for. It is a really elementary procedure. An area of a wound is done dull regulating a little kind of anaesthesia. It can possibly be injected or simply practical directly. Afterwards an alloy will stitch cut edges together regulating sure needle as well as thread. If a cut isn't large enough, a cut is hermetic regulating a special kind of glue, instead of stitches. A glue will reason an edges together so which a skin underneath will reanimate as well as over a duration of time, a glue will dissolve. <br />
<br />
And when the wound is completely healed, the stitches are cut open using scissors and then the threads are pulled off gently. In majority of the cases, the wound doesn't leave behind a scar. This totally depends on the method and effectiveness of the treatment.</div><div class='uawresource'><div style='font-style:italic;' class='uawabout'><br />
