5. Keep the wound clean is important when you’re trying to get your wound to heal quickly.
When you wash the wound, make sure that it is thoroughly dry before placing a dressing over it. Even though the wound doesn’t need to be exposed to air for too long, it still needs to be cleaned and dried every week. This will keep the wound from becoming infected.
When you wash the wound, be gentle and use a clean washcloth. If you are too rough, it will start bleeding and cause pain. By washing it, you will be able to tell if it’s healing properly. Always use a clean dressing when you cover the wound.
By placing the same dressing over the wound will cause bacteria to get inside of it. A doctor will place you on antibiotics in order to get rid of the infection. That will slow down the healing process of the wound.
