Hi my14 year old son fell off his bike onto the concrete at a skateboard park yesterday afternoon and has several grazes over his face some more superficial than others. They were cleaned with saline and covered for the night but I removed the dressings this am.Is there anything I should apply to the grazes now to avoid infection?
Hi this is Chat Doctor. As per your description the matter the injury is not very serious, however the site is face and so chances of infection is a major issue.it will be of immense help if you can send me pictures of those abrasions. First in. Tetanus toxic 1 ampule should be taken within 24 hrs. If those r only superficial abrasions then you have to clean those wound with gauze piece and beta dine. After cleaning you can either apply mupirocin ointment or newsprint powder.newsprint powder helps in
