Will a band aid help a papercut heal faster than leaving it unexposed?!


Question: thanks.


Answers: thanks.

Hello. I have just been thru alot and and been in training for 3 years and what i have learnt is not to cover things up as it takes longer to heal. It is just a paper cut. Only cover when you could get it infected but that is not much of a chance unless you are working or dealing with dirty things around you. Hope this helps. take care and i hope it heals quick.

Neosporian and a band-aid is your best bet. It will heal faster and not get infected.

Not necessarily. But it will help it from getting infected.

I work in a place where there are little kids running around. I'd put a band aid over a little cut because I never know what germs might be around! But if you don't live where there is much exposure to strange germs, then you can just clean it and leave it exposed to the air. Believe me, kids can drag in the strangest germs!
