In everyday life our skin often suffers from hasty rhythm and unexpected situations. In these moments there is a high possibility to damage skin and get scratches and small scars. Even a small scratch which seems unimportant can cause uncomfortable pain and severe discomfort you will want to get out of as fast as possible.
Most scratches are small damages to the skin, which could be treated at home – to provide fast regeneration, our skin needs special care.
Examples: scalding with hot water, caused by hot object touching or flame.
Burns usually make us feel uncomfortable and they heal much longer than other wounds. Most of us at least once in a life have suffered from sunburns or other kinds of burns – their first signs are redness, irritation or itchiness, also small swelling and even in serious cases – ulcers. The consequences of burns might be very severe. That is the reason why any extensive, deep, or severe burn always requires medical attention, especially if it is a child or an elderly person.
Examples: foot fissures, especially on heels, nipples when you are breast-feeding.
Such factors like insufficient water intake, rapid temperature fluctuation, skin friction and contact with chemicals affects the natural moisture balance of your skin and it can cause skin fissures. Skin fissures and dryness are mostly happening on feet (especially in heels area), on hands and elbows, where skin is most movable and it is contacting other surfaces and irritants, as well as on nipples when you are breast-feeding.
Daily skincare will help avoid skin fissures and healing in the event of damages.
Examples: If diapers are not changed often enough If diapers are too tight.
Diaper redness is skin irritation developing in diaper contact areas. Usually, such skin irritation is associated with infants and young children, but we should remember that everyone using napkins in everyday life can suffer from it. Skin rash is making skin more sensitive to infections and irritation, that’s why it is so important to provide effective care and treatment for damaged skin areas. Skin irritation and inflammation in the nappy area is one of the most common problems in infancy.
Part of the reasons is the peculiarities of the baby’s skin and its care. Skin in the nappy area has several creases and grooves. A baby’s skin is thin and sensitive to external stimuli. Skin often encounters urine and feces, and underneath there is a damp environment.
Examples: dry skin in cold weather temperature fluctuations dry air too often washing.
Healthy and nourished skin is elastic and protects us from negative effects of the outside environment and irritation. It is important to pay attention that wind, temperature fluctuations, dry air, chemicals and even washing your skin too often is affecting it. Your skin can become dry, red, rough and even start chapping, providing a negative effect on our everyday life.
Examples: scratches, cuts.
Unwanted daily injuries could spoil personal wellbeing and cause a lot of worries. Damage to the skin surface like scratches, maims, insect bites are small in most cases, but it can cause a lot of discomfort. In case of major wounds, you should seek medical assistance, but minor and moderate damages can be treated at home.
Treatment of wounds in due time will heal them faster and prevents infection.
