How often to dress a wound
Wounds can be present over various parts of the body and depending on the wound type you need to dress it. It is crucial to choose the correct wound dressing in order to let the wound heal. You can change the dressing of your wound every two days depending on how small or big it is. If you are treating larger wounds it is advisable to keep them for longer than 2 days.
Better healing with wound dressing
Your priority when it comes to treating a wound should not be refusing treatment and putting on a brave face. Even the smallest of wounds needs your attention and you can’t rely on wound healing in the open air. In fact, letting the wound heal under moist, covered up conditions has been shown to quicken healing and prevent scabs and scarring.
See your doctor if the wound is deep, bleeding or shows signs of infection like reddening, swelling or warmth.
Seek medical help if you’re not able to clean the wound properly. If you’re diabetic, wound care is even more important.
