Hi,

The first thing you should do to any cut or scrape is apply pressure on it, so you stop the bleeding. If possible, wrap a clean, absorbent cloth or towel around the wound and press your hand against it. If no such compress is available, press the wound with your fingers for at least 60 seconds--releasing the pressure as soon as bleeding has been reduced. Then elevate the wounded area above the level of the heart to slow down blood flow.

Once bleeding is controlled, apply an ice pack wrapped in a towel to constrict blood vessels and stop bleeding. But leave the cold pack on for only 15 minutes, or until the area begins to feel numb. Clean the wound. After 10 minutes, reapply the ice pack for another 15 minutes. You can repeat this 15-on, 10-off procedure a number of times.

After washing the cut or scrape, apply an over-the-counter antibacterial ointment and cover the wound with a bandage for at least 24 hours. The bandage should be loosely tented over the wound, not applied tightly like tape.

In picking an antibacterial ointment--which helps prevent infection and shorten healing time--look for the active ingredients bacitracin or polymyxin B, contained in over-the-counter products such as Polysporin.

You want to keep the bandage on if the cut will be exposed to anything that might infect it. And you also need a bandage if the wound would rub against other areas. If it's a minor wound and it won't be exposed to anything that will infect it, remove the bandage and let the wound heal in the open air.

Whether you bandage or not, you must continue to clean the wound daily. But after the initial cleaning, forget the soap and water. Soap is very drying on your skin, and water is also a drying agent. You want to keep the wound as moist as possible, so the wound heals with less crusting. (With less crusting, you aren't as likely to get a "dented mark" or scar where the wound is.) Instead of using soap and water, clean the area with plain tap water and apply an antibiotic ointment every day.

Best luck and feel better.

Answer 3

We've used this home remedy for years and it works for us because it heals from the inside out. Where is this deep cut? Is it on a finger or foot? If it is on a finger or foot area, put 2 to 3 Tablespoonfuls of Apple Cider Vinegar in a plastic bowl or glass bowl. Soak the area with that for 2 minutes. Then add a Tablespoonfull of Baking Soda to the vinegar. It will foam and fizz and at the same time heal the area. Do this about 3 times a day for 4 days. If this fails, go see your family physician.

Good luck and I hope you feel better!
I hope I was some what helpful!

had a deep cut on one of my finger the other day caused by Stanley knife accident washed wound patted it dry with sterile swab and super glued it together .put on plaster kept it straight and dry or couple of days hey presto job done all healed .glue stings a bit but not as bad as stitches .

Answer 5

As long as an infection isn't spreading which would require antibiotics, you can just put some triple antibacterial salve in it and butterfly bandages over the wound to keep it closed.

Answer 6

I would say a tight bandage to hold it together and keep it out of view. Just make sure it's clean (rubbing alcohol or iodine or neosporin...) and that it really doesn't need stitches first.

Answer 7

Clean it well, and then try Super Glue.
Seriously! We use it to hold cuts together so they will heal. It might sting a little, but it will work.

Answer 8

Farmers swear by "Bag Balm".

But I would be concerned with the possibility of infection. Clean, and use a popular antiseptic. Bandage and keep clean.

Answer 9

try going to the local pharmacy or walmart and getting this stuff called liquid bandage it is almost like the stuff they use @ the hospitals now. I use it on my son all the time . it will burn a little but not as bad as super glue .
hope you get it cleared up
