What medication should I use for a skin scrape?

For minor skin abrasions, it is recommended to use some anti-inflammatory drugs. As the skin is in an exposed state after abrasion, it is vulnerable to bacterial and viral infections, which may affect wound healing. Therefore, it is necessary to consult a doctor and use some external anti-inflammatory drugs or appropriately apply alcohol or iodophor to clean the external wound to effectively prevent infection.

Keep the wound dry and clean after abrasion. Avoid contact with water immediately as it can increase the risk of infection. Maintain local cleanliness or, in case of bleeding, use bandages appropriately to stop bleeding and isolate external infections.

If the abrasion seems severe, it is recommended to visit a hospital for professional treatment. Many people only have minor abrasions, but improper handling can lead to infection and more severe consequences, directly affecting wound healing and causing obvious scars later.

After abrasion, in addition to properly treating the wound, it is also important to pay attention to a balanced diet and avoid spicy and irritating foods, as these can irritate the wound and hinder healing.
