Special care must always be taken when caring for a wound:
- Before dressing a wound, clean it thoroughly with sponges and cleansing solution. Do not allow scab to form in the wound which will cause infection. Use a gauze with saline solution to scrub of the wound. In case it bleeds, just put pressure with gauze until bleeding stops.
- Also, remove any body hair which also contributes to infection.
- Pat the wound dry with a different, clean sponge.
- When the wound is clean and dry, apply the dressings appropriate to the severity of the wound.
- When removing old dressings, always remove one layer at a time, not all at once.
Calmoseptine and Desitine is for rashes and allergies while Silver Sulfadiazine is for wound treatment.
