Some people believe that using rubbing alcohol to clean wounds can kill microorganisms. Most of us have done this at some point in our lives, and it may be painfully painful. Direct use of rubbing alcohol on an open wound should be avoided. This can cause substantial tissue damage and a delay in healing. Hydrogen peroxide is also not recommended.
To effectively cleanse a wound, clean it with warm water and soap. Soaps with antibacterial properties are available at our pharmacy in Orlando Florida.
Another myth is that bandages should be removed as soon as possible to reduce discomfort; however, this can be detrimental to your open wound, particularly if it is scabbing. The best way to remove a bandage is to soften it with water. When the bandage is wet, slowly peel it off until it is gone.
Clean the wound again and apply a new set of bandages. Keep the wound covered to avoid bacteria and other illnesses. To keep it moist, come to our pharmacy or use our free prescription delivery service to have your chosen ointment and medications brought to your home.
It is usually a good idea to keep medical materials in your first aid kit. You never know when you or a loved one will be hurt. Proper wound care education is required no matter who you are and what you do for a living. As such, keep your medical cabinet stocked by visiting our medical equipment pharmacy in Florida.
