• A bandage can protect the area from rubbing against clothing and dirt and bacteria.

• That can help the wound heal faster.

• To reduce the risk of infection, always clean a wound before bandaging.

• If you have a cut, bandages can also help hold the edges of the cut together.

• When using an adhesive strip, apply it across the width of the wound, not lengthwise.

• It's Best To Pull a Bandage Slowly

• Ripping a bandage off too quickly risks pulling off the scab or reopening the wound.

• Instead, peel the bandage off slowly and gently.

• If the bandage feels like it is stuck to the scab, soak it in warm water to soften the scab.

• To avoid tearing out hair around the wound, pull the bandage gradually in the same direction as hair growth.

• Putting butter or ice on a burn won't help and could lead to further damage.

• For minor burns, hold the area under cool running water until the pain eases.

• To protect blistered skin, cover the area with a sterile gauze bandage.

• Use a nonstick dressing if available, and wrap the bandage loosely so it won’t stick to the burned skin.
