It will easily heal on its own. However, sometimes bandages lessen the pain and prevent you from picking at the cut. While they do not help the wound heal faster, they discourage infection and encourage the body’s healing process. Look for a cream or ointment that has analgesic to help decrease any pain. Some ingredients in antibiotic cream or ointments can cause an adverse, mild rash. If you see any sign of a rash, discontinue the use of the ointment. Use a clean bandage, especially if it is in an area that gets dirty easily, like your fingers or hand. This will limit the amount of bacteria you come into contact with. This will also protect you from knocking the wound open. Put your adhesive strip on snug, but not so tight you will restrict blood flow to your wound. You want your blood to have access to the wound to better heal you! Change your bandage if the bandage becomes wet or dirty. You want to keep the area as clean as possible to encourage healing. Some products offer a topical anesthetic that helps to alleviate some of the pain. Check the pharmacy for those made specifically for minor skin wounds. Super glue products can sting, but also cover the wound and dry to hold the edges of the skin together. These products are not intended to be used directly on skin, so they will sting and cause some burning if you choose to utilize this method. For most paper cuts, healing only takes a few days. Leaving the bandage on too long can prevent the cut from getting the oxygen it needs to heal properly.
تذّكر أنه مجرد جرح ورق طفيف. ضع طبقة رقيقة من مرهم أو كريم مضاد للجراثيم لإبقاء السطح رطبـًا. ضمّـد الجرح. غيّـر الضمادة: استخدم لاصق جروح سائل إذا لم تستطع إبقاء الضمادة جافة. أزل الضمادة حالما يبدأ الجرح بالالتئام.
