What to do initially if cut somewhere: 1. When it is cut , keep an eye on what is being cut. If you cut iron, rust, sharp objects , dirty objects, etc., you must take anti-infective tetanus injection with the advice of a doctor. 2. Hold the cut with a clean cloth or gauze. If you hold it with pressure for 20 to 30 minutes continuously, the blood will clot and stop bleeding. You can also hold a piece of ice. Keep the cut area high , it will easily clot the blood. 3. When the bleeding has stopped, wash the area with clean water. Soap or iodine and iodine-containing antiseptics often cause irritation. Many people clean the place with various scented soaps. Instead, use anti-bacterial soap. You can also clean the area with Detol or Savlon , Viodine. 3. After washing, cover with a thin layer of antibiotic ointment. Neomycin or similar ointment should always be at home as a first aid kit. Now stick it with a thin gauze or bandage. It is the habit of many of us to give cotton to cuts. However, modern medicine says that if cotton is cut , the cotton fibers get stuck in the skin , so it is better to use gauze cloth or bandage instead of cotton. 4. If you want to go out with a light cut, cover it with a bandage. But while at home, apply ointment or medicine for some time and keep the wound in the open air. The wound will dry quickly. 5. Ordinary gauze bandages or sticker bandages , whatever they are , need to be changed at least once a day. Consult a doctor if the area becomes swollen and red , pain increases or gets wet , fever occurs . . If the bleeding does not stop even after holding for half an hour, if the wound is six millimeters thick, stitches may be required. In that case go to the emergency department. . If you have diabetes, it is often too late to dry the wound. But if you do not have a long-term wound in someone who is not affected by diabetes, consult a doctor. If the bleeding does not stop after the cut , inform the doctor if there is any irritation in the wound.
