Deep cuts may involve large blood vessels and may cause extensive bleeding. They may also damage muscles, tendons, and nerves. Cleanse wound thoroughly with mild soap and warm water. Control bleeding by applying pressure directly to the would with a clean cloth or gauze for several minutes. Once bleeding has stopped, apply a clean dry dressing and keep covered for 24 hours.
Ointments are unnecessary unless wound is extremely dirty.
Then use sparingly 2-3 times a day after cleansing. If you are unable to stop the bleeding, come to the Health Center immediately. Blisters are collections of fluid below or within the epidermal layer of skin. If the blister opens, treat it like an open wound. Some common causes of blisters are sunburn, friction from shoes, and burns.
