If you get a wound, keeping the area clean can help prevent infections, irritation, and scarring. Wash the area daily with gentle soap and warm water to remove germs, dirt, and debris.  Avoid soaps that contain harsh perfumes and dyes. If you’re getting medical treatment for your wound, follow your doctor’s instructions for cleaning and dressing it. Wounds that develop scabs are more likely to leave scars. To prevent scabbing, always cover your clean wound with hydrating petroleum jelly, such as Vaseline. Cover the wound with a bandage to keep it clean and hydrated. Change the bandage, clean the wound, and reapply the petroleum jelly daily or any time the bandage gets wet or dirty. with aloe vera gel. Medical researchers have found that aloe helps promote the healing of burn wounds more effectively than petroleum jelly. To minimize scarring, apply 100% aloe gel to the wound daily until the burn heals.  If you have a third degree burn or a second degree burn that is larger than 3 inches (7.6 cm) across, seek medical care immediately. Don’t try to treat a severe burn on your own. You can also ask your doctor for a silver sulfadiazine prescription to help prevent infections for second- or third-degree burns. Even after your wound has healed, it’s important to keep protecting the area in order to minimize any potential scarring. If you have a fresh scar after the wound heals, put sunscreen on it or cover it with protective clothing (such as long sleeves) until it fades or disappears.  Use a sunscreen with an SPF of at least 30. If you have a scar from surgery, your surgeon will probably recommend that you keep it protected from the sun for at least 1 year. If you have a wound that requires stitches, you can minimize potential scarring by having the stitches removed in the timeframe that your doctor recommends. Taking the stitches out too late or too early may result in more severe scarring.  Don’t attempt to remove the stitches on your own. Visit your doctor’s office and ask them to remove the stitches for you. Get stitches on your face removed after 3-5 days, on your scalp and chest after 7-10 days, and on your limbs after 10-14 days.
