Do you know what to do if someone cuts themselves?  Read First Aid for Cuts and be ready to do the right thing!

Step-by-Step First Aid for Cuts 

Tips for Simple Wound Care summarized from Mayo Clinic Guidelines

1.  Stop the bleeding.  Apply gentle pressure with a clean bandage or cloth (or your hand if you have nothing else).  Elevate if possible and hold pressure continuously for 20 to 30 minutes.  If  the bleeding doesn’t stop, seek assistance.  Don’t try to shut off all blood flow (thus oxygen) by using a tourniquet.  They are used only for very severe injuries!  

2.  Clean the wound.  Rinse with clear water.  Keep soap out of the actual wound because it can irritate it.  If there is still dirt or debris in the wound after washing, use tweezers cleaned with alcohol to remove the particles.  If debris remains, see your doctor.  Cleaning around the wound with soap and water, plus cleaning the wound thoroughly with water reduces the risk of infection and tetanus.  No need for hydrogen peroxide, iodine or an iodine-containing cleanser.

3.  Apply an antibiotic.  After cleaning the wound, apply a thin layer of antibiotic cream or ointment to keep the wound moist.  These products discourage infection and help your body’s natural healing process, but don’t actually speed up healing per se.  Use sparingly and follow package directions carefully. If a rash appears, stop using the ointment.  Do not use on serious injuries before asking your doctor.  

4.  Cover the wound.  Bandages help keep the wound clean and the bacteria out.  After you’re out of the woods for infection, exposure to the air will speed wound healing.

5.  Change the dressing.  Change the wound dressing at least daily or whenever wet or dirty.  If you’re allergic to the adhesive bandages, switch to adhesive-free dressings or sterile gauze pads held in place with paper tape, gauze roll or a loosely applied elastic bandage.

6.  Get stitches for deep wounds.  A wound that is more than 1/4-inch deep or is gaping or jagged edged and has fat or muscle protruding usually requires stiches.  Adhesive strips or butterfly closures may hold a minor cut, but if you can’t easily close the wound, see your doctor as soon as possible to reduce the risk of infection.

7.  Watch for signs of infection.  See your doctor if the wound isn’t healing or you notice any redness, increasing pain, drainage, warmth or swelling.

8.  Get a tetanus shot.  Docs recommend you get a tetnus shot every 10 years. If your wound is dirty or deep and you haven’t had a shot for more than 5 years, you may need a tetanus booster.

Remedies for Common Skin Problems

Eczema is very common and there are several medical grade and OTC skin care eczema remedies on the market.  Eczema is a family of skin conditions but is generally described as inflammation or dermatitis of the upper layers of the skin.  It can be found in adults or children and it is not contagious.  Eczema is characterized by itchy, red, dry skin on the face, hands, feet, elbows, knees or arms. 

Fungal Infections – Most superficial fungal infections such as athlete’s foot, jock itch, yeast infections and ringworm can be cured with topical antifungal medication placed directly on the affected area.  Fungal infections are very common and grow best in warm moist environments so be careful and stay dry!  Symptoms range from peeling, scaling redness to itching and burning and/or blisters and sores. Check with your doc if you’re not sure what you have. 

See all Antifungals

Diaper Dermatitis (Diaper Rash) or other itchy skin irritations caused by moisture can be soothed, prevented and even cured with the help of incontinence washes, perineal cleansers and moisture barrier creams.

Diabetic Skin Care is important for people with diabetes because of the potential for a variety of skin conditions .  Awareness is also key because reduced circulation and nerve sensitivity can make it hard to identify skin problems as they arise.  Moisturizers are also important for those with diabetes because high blood glucose results in loss of fluid in the body.  Dehydration can quickly lead to dry skin which can crack and invite nasty germs in, causing  infections.  Out of control infections can result in terrible problems including amputation.  All preventable with daily skin care!

Dry Skin prevention and correction can be managed with daily moisturizers.  Rub lotion into damp skin after every bath or shower to seal in moisture and ensure great looking skin all year long.

Sunburns need fast pain relief, cooling medicine and sealed-in moisture.  Have plenty of sunburn remedies on hand this summer.

There are 100′s of medical grade and Over-the-Counter (OTC) lotions, creams, ointments, sprays, powders and foams to relieve or cure just about any skin problem you have.   Remember to read the labels and check with your doctor if you have any questions about what, when and how to use any of these products.

Whatever gets you moving . . . congratulations!  Seriously.   Any exercise is beneficial as long as you are working to your fitness level and doing it ’right’. 

Alas, nobody’s perfect and we sometimes hurt ourselves.  Here are some products designed specifically for the prevention and treatment of sports injuries. 

Injury Prevention Products

Stretching.  The most common sports injuries are caused by not stretching  your muscles before exercise.  The ProStretch and ProStretch Doubleare among our most popular products, and for good reason.  They reduce your risk of injury, improve lower extremity strength, balance, proprioception and flexibility.  Plus they make your legs look and feel fantastic.
