They draw the two sides of the wound together, giving it the chance to clot up, scab over & form new skin underneath & between the wound.

its not that bad ive had both, but dont not under any circumstances do it your self, you could get a really bad infection, go to a tatoo parlor to get it done. besides the needles they use a different, theyre hollow so it cuts a plug of skin out  and it heals all the way around, other needles just make a dull hole and it wont heal.

Put salt on them. It chemically burns them and creates a seal so they heal faster.

They give you something to hold.\n\nYou squeeze it.\n\nThey sick a needle in your arm.  It hurts about as much as a pinch.\n\nBlood spurts out and fills a vial.  \n\nThey remove the needle, place a cotton swab on the wound and put a piece of tape over it.\n\nYour doctor gets the results in a couple of days.

Clean the blister from debris,Put some antibiotic like neosporin, and keep bandages OFF. You want to air it out, so it can dry and heal.

Well, your best idea would be taking neosporin and rubbing it on the cut depending on the area. If it's in the pubic area, you can probably still use neosporin just watch where you apply it. Neosporin helps prevent the formation of scars.

Wash the area with soap and water, make sure nothing is still in the scrape (gravel or pieces of dirt). Pat area dry, apply triple antibiotic ointment, cover with a dressing.  If the would is draining change the dressing 2-3 times a day, if not once a day is sufficient.  \nWounds do not need a scab to heal, and they don't need air either.  That's what my mother use to say but this has been proven wrong.  We now keep wound beds moist to promote healing. \nAs for the drainage, if it is a clear yellow liquid that kind of crystalizes around the wound edges this is normal tissue fluid, and there is usually quite a bit of it from a scrape.  If the drainage becomes thick, opaque, white or yellow or has an odor to it you may need a prescription for an antibiotic.  Also the wound may have a thin ring of pink/red around the scraped area but it should not get a larger red area and it should not feel warmer than the surrounding areas.\nScrapes always hurt much more than you would think they should. Mostly due to the way the skin is torn off and the fact that there is now exposed nerve endings.

Cats and humans heal at roughly the same rate for cuts and wounds.  Cats sometimes rip their sutures out a day or two after surgery and require no further suturing because the body has already created healthy granulation tissue.  Same with people.  They also have the same symptoms associated with infected wounds such as lethargy, inappetance and a fever.  They however, do not just wall off infections and heal on their own as some people think.  They too require antibiotics to prevent or cure infections.  The only animal that truly walls off infection is the cow...they do so remarkably well...usually no treatment is needed.

The time it takes to heal any wound depends on several things. Good circulation to the area helps with healing. It brings nutrients and oxygen that are needed to heal. You can't let your blood sugar levels be too high. If someones blood sugar is too high then basically they may never heal the wound. Also make sure that you are getting enough protein in your diet. Protein is what your body uses to repair skin.\nYou may want to consider visiting a wound care clinic. We have one in our area. On certain patients they are able to put them in a bariatric chamber which saturates the body with oxygen to promote healing. Hope this helps!

Put on antibiotic ointment, cover with a bandaid.  At night, take the bandaid off & let it get air.  In the morning, put on more antibiotic ointment & cover with bandaid, again.  Do this for a few days.  It should heal by then.

It depends on what body part you need to bandage. There's really an unlimited number of ways you can do this. As we say in EMS, improvise, improvise, improvise. \nThe most important thing to remember is, if you are tryng to control bleeding, make the knot over the wound, tight, but not circulation restricting. If you are using this to splint a broken bone, never tie the knot over the break. \n\nBelow is a website that has some pretty good step-by-step directions for a number of different body parts to be bandaged.\n\nGood luck!

it will eventually heal itself, but if damaged to severly (broken bones) it may never be quite right again. See a doctor before the bones mend improperly and need to be rebroken to reset.
