Open wounds leave skin more vulnerable to infection. Bacteria is one of the most common causes of skin infection and can be introduced by treating the wound with unclean hands, not cleaning the wound effectively or leaving the wound open. Clean the wound and remove any dirt before applying Savlon to cleanse and treat the wound. If, required apply a dressing or plaster to protect the wound. Cool the burn as quickly as possible with cool running water for at least 20 minutes or until the pain has been relieved.
Blisters are fluid-filled sacs under the top layer of skin that is most commonly caused by friction or infection. The most common cause of blisters is the friction between skin and shoes. Once a blister has initially formed the healing process will immediately begin as the fluid collects under the damaged skin. This fluid is created by the body to cushion the skin and avoid further damage to allow healing. Gradually, over the next few days, the fluid will naturally drain and the skin under the surface will heal. This process can take anywhere from 3-7 days depending on the severity of the blister and location.
