What should I do if my wound becomes festering and itchy?

No matter it is a bruise, a fall or a surgical wound, it will become itchy and fester after treatment. What should you do at this time? Doctors tell us that if there are general wounds on the body, the best way is to take protective measures. Of course, if you are not careful, it will still cause suppuration, itching, and pain. So what should you do? Let’s take a look at some solutions together.

Itching during wound healing is actually related to the skin structure and tissue regeneration ability of the human body. It turns out that human skin is divided into two layers: the epidermis and the dermis, and below the dermis is the subcutaneous tissue. In addition, the skin also has appendages such as hair, sebaceous glands, sweat glands, and nails. Different skin structures respond differently to wounds. Because the regenerative abilities of various tissues in the human body are different, the nerve tissue has a lower regenerative ability. Generally speaking, when the nerves heal quickly, the wounds also heal quickly. When nerve endings grow into the connective tissue, the wound can feel itchy and painful.

No matter what causes the festering and itching of the wound, we need to deal with it in time. Below are some treatment methods. Let’s take a look at them.

1. First moisten the wound with saline cotton balls or gauze, and then clean the wound with saline cotton balls;

2. If there is necrotic tissue, use sterile tissue scissors to cut away the necrotic tissue;

3. Apply iodine to the cleaned (treated) wound surface and wait for it to dry;

4. Spray (apply) "Kangfuxin Liquid" on the wound surface;

5. The above procedures can be performed twice a day, once a day or once every two days depending on the condition of the wound. Since all materials must be sterilized and the injured have not received professional training, it is recommended to go to the hospital's outpatient department for treatment.

This is all the knowledge we have about itching and festering wounds. If the wound becomes festered and itchy, remember not to scratch or squeeze the wound to avoid rupture and inflammation. You can also eat foods that help heal the wound, such as foods containing zinc, vitamin A, protein, etc.
