There are some wounds that can occur on skin tissue. There are galling, contusion, cuts, tearing wounds and puncture wounds. Let’s discuss one by one.

1. Galling

Galling or in medical terms is called the vulnus eksoritum, this is a damage of the outer layer of the skin or mucous membranes due to certain reasons. For example, If the surface of the skin peeled off due rubbed with a hard and rough object, the possibility of galling or abrasion will occur. Not need to worry, because there be some act of help that can be done.

Aid measures :

Clean the wound with water and antiseptic, then cover the wound with dry sterile gauze, after that bandaged with a bandage. If the wound is very broad, do disinfection and brought to the hospital to get anti-tetanus injection (if necessary). Change the bandage every day until the wound healed. A small abrasion, simply washed and rubbed with mercurochrom or betadine solution, and if necessary close the wound with sterile plaster.

If you want to treat wounds in the traditional way, cut a banana tree trunk. Then take the water that comes out from the trunk and rubbed into the wound. In an instant, the blood will stop and the wound became dry.

2.Contusion

Contusion due to a impact can be dangerous, can be not. Not dangerous if happen on the surface of the body (skin), Conversely, if it occurs in organs such as stomach and head area, it must be aware. Impact in the area around the stomach can be dangerous, because on the left side there are stomach and spleen, and the liver on the right side. All these three organs are very important and easy to get hurt. Severe internal injuries, will not be visible from the outside. Maybe only appear as a small blue bruise around the abdomen, but it could be the spleen or liver, rupture. Rest a minute, if in some time there was no complaint of any pain, means nothing serious. But if abdominal feel pain more than an hour, immediately brought to the hospital.

however, the bruises that I discussed this time was a bruise on the skin. If you’ve just hit the door, table or rock, there is a possibility that makes your skin bruising and even until there is a bump.

Aid measures :

Compressed bruised skin with ice or cold water, and if necessary give the pressure bandage. If swelling, then simply rubbed with Lasonil ointment or the like. But if you want to try the traditional way, take a banana leaf and grilled until softened but not until scorched. Mixed with few cooking oil and rubbed in your wounds. Do it regularly to get maximum results.

3. Cuts

Cuts which short and shallow, can be overcome by using bandages. If you don’t have, then the regular plaster can be used to close the wound, but insist that sterile. Cuts or incision is due to sharp objects, with neat edges. Bandages or plaster is the fastest way to handle these injuries, but if you want to handle it according with the procedure, then follow these steps :

Aid measures :

• Always wash your hands before treating the wound.
• Wash the wound with clean water (tap) water and dry with a clean tissue paper.
• Take the dirt, glass, porcelain, or other particles in the wound with clean tweezers. These tweezers should be washed with soapy water first, or is heated with small fire and let it cool.
• Stop the bleeding by pressing gauze over the wound for several minutes.
• Scrub with an antiseptic ointment such as cetrimide or acriflavin (but can cause allergies in some people).
• If a small wound, let it open in order to recover faster. If a large wound, cover with a bandage
• Check to the doctor if there are complications. Go to the emergency room at the nearest hospital if there is bleeding. For example blood was gushing from the wound, the bleeding -does not stop with pressure, or have lost about 1-2 cups of blood.

Cuts which long or deep, require stitches. If you are not proficient in performing suturing wounds, then submit it to the hospital. But there are some things you can do before bringing the patient to the hospital, ie closing the wound with sterile gauze or a piece of sofratulle, after previously performed disinfection.

4. Torn (Laceration)

This wound caused by sharp or blunt object. Treatment of this wound similar with cuts, but must be more cautious and careful because the wound was not smooth (not neat). Here how to perform the aid :

Aid measures :

Actually, only the hospitals that can provide good treatment, but there are some things you can do. These injuries usually require stitches, therefore the first thing to do is disinfection. After that, cover with sterile gauze or sofratulle. Note the object that caused this injury. Is it dirty, rusty, etc.. Antibiotics and Anti-tetanus sometimes should be given.

5. Puncture (Stab)

-Puncture wounds to the chest.

Puncture which not hit the heart can penetrate the lung cavity. Consequently, in addition to bleeding from the lung cavity, the air will also enter into the lung cavity. Therefore, the lung on the injured side will deflate. Patients seen in pain when breathing and suddenly feel suffocated.

Aid measures :

Cover the wound with sterile gauze moistened with sterile fluid. Then bandage the wound with plaster. The bandage should be airtight. Respiratory tract must be cleared from dirt, debris, mucus or blood. Actually, this dirt could come out with the coughing. But, the cough will be extremely painful and the patient must be afraid to cough. So, this cleaning should be done. If patients get shock, vertebral fracture, or concussion, take patients to hospitals and bring in a half-sitting position. To reduce pain, give pain-fighting drugs or cough suppressant (codein, etc.).

-Puncture wounds to the stomach.

When a puncture wound on the stomach, then it is almost certainly going to bleed. Bleeding in the abdominal cavity caused by open wounds (ie after a punctured) are easily identified. However, bleeding in the abdominal cavity can also occur without an open wound, for example due to a hard blow by a blunt object directly into the stomach (for example, motor vehicle accidents). If this is an open wound, it is very dangerous. In addition to infection, shock and death may follow.

Aid Measures :

Cover the wound with a ‘snelverband‘. If there was no snelverband, close the wound with sterile gauze. if there is intestine or bowel out, DO NOT try to put it back! Because if you are not an expert, it will worsen the condition of the patient, or even death. When it began to bind, then give the pressure bandage. DO NOT give any food or beverage. If the patient is thirsty, simply wet his/her lips. If what you are doing is enough, take the patient to the hospital immediately.

-Puncture wounds on the limbs.

Aid Measures :

Clean the wound edge from dirt with a sterile and antiseptic fluid. If the wound is not deep, not have to get stitches, just flush with a solution of Hydrogen Peroxide to stop the activity of tetanus germs. Close the wound with sterile gauze and give the pressure bandage. Bring the patient to the hospital to get anti-tetanus injection and antibiotics.
