What should I do if my skin is injured by a bath scrub mitt?
Doctor's answer (1)
When the skin is injured by using a loofah scrub, take the following steps for proper care:
1. Disinfect the wound with povidone-iodine solution to prevent infection. Ensure thorough disinfection and follow the product's instructions.
2. If the wound is accompanied by redness or swelling, apply a cold compress using an ice pack wrapped in a towel to the affected area to reduce swelling and pain.
3. After disinfection, apply anti-inflammatory and antibacterial medication as directed by a healthcare professional, such as Yunnan Baiyao powder or erythromycin ointment, to promote healing.
4. Cover the wound with sterile gauze or a bandage to prevent bacterial contamination and maintain cleanliness.
5. Avoid using rough loofah scrubs again, and keep the wound dry and clean.
