Abrasion on Elbow
This picture shows a shallow scrape on the left elbow.
First Aid Care Advice for Minor Scrape:
- Apply direct pressure for 10 minutes to stop any bleeding.
- Wash the area with soap and water.
- Gently scrub out any dirt with a washcloth.
- Apply an antibiotic ointment, covered by an adhesive bandage or dressing. Change daily.
- Another option is to use a Liquid Skin Bandage that only needs to be applied once. Avoid ointments with this.
