The wound is covered with a layer of white cortex

There are many wounds on the surface of human skin. These wounds vary in size and are caused by some reasons, such as abrasions and falls. After the wound occurs, it will slowly form a scab. However, during the scabbing process, some special situations may occur. For example, a layer of white cortex forms on the wound. So what is the matter with the white cortex forming on the wound?

This situation may be caused by inflammatory infection, suppuration, etc. Redness around the wound is abnormal and can be seen in inflammatory infection. It is recommended to go to the hospital's surgery department for examination in time, take debridement and disinfection treatment according to the condition, and then use anti-inflammatory drugs for treatment. Pay attention to wound hygiene, do not let the wound get wet to prevent the condition from worsening, pay attention to rest, and be careful not to eat spicy food.

This is for a situation where the skin is slowly recovering. You don't need to apply Bactroban anymore. You can use iodine tincture to keep the skin dry. Try to avoid contact with water. Pay more attention to supplementing with high-quality protein to promote recovery.

It is caused by the scab, so you still need to pay attention to it. In the short term, you need to cooperate with anti-inflammatory treatment with drugs to avoid the formation of pus under the scab. You can try iodine tincture to disinfect the wound, and then continue to apply Bactroban ointment for treatment. During the period, pay attention to hygiene and adjust the wound. The wound area should not be exposed to water in the short term.

Wound healing requires reasonable and sufficient nutrition, especially high-quality protein, trace elements such as zinc, iron, and B vitamins, vitamin C, etc., which are essential nutrients for wound healing.

Guidance: Foods that provide high-quality protein include animal foods such as poultry, livestock, fish, eggs, and milk. Animal foods are rich in trace elements and B vitamins, which are beneficial to wound healing.

Before the wound is completely healed, you need to use iodine to disinfect it every day, and be careful about the wound coming into contact with water. Generally, if there is no infection, it will heal in about 1-2 weeks.

The layer of white secretion is necrotic tissue, which currently appears to be tightly adhered to normal tissue and does not need to be removed, because forced removal may cause bleeding and create new damage.

The main problem is wound infection. You can rinse the wound with hydrogen peroxide solution, disinfect it with iodine, change the dressing frequently, and pay attention to keeping the wound clean. Eat more fresh fruits and vegetables to supplement vitamin C to promote wound recovery.
