Wound treatment

First, wash and disinfect the wound to remove all dirt and debris. Use direct pressure and elevation to control bleeding and swelling. When wrapping the wound, always use a sterile dressing or bandage. Very minor wounds may heal without a bandage.
Keep wounds and injection sites clean throughout the healing process with soap and water.
