cuts heal faster without a bandaid cuz with a bandaid all the moisture stays in the same place. but bandaids DO protect you from getting an infection

The cut heals faster without a bandaid because without the bandaid, there would be more oxygen going through it and it would heal faster.

It heals faster without band aid...just be sure to clean it up and put skin antibiotic on it.

With. It keeps the wound moist and covered, so the skin cells can grow together and heal. If it's bare, it gets dry and spreads apart, so that the skin has to grow across a larger gap. It helps to put a dab of antibacterial ointment like Neosporin on it.

I have always put a bandaid on the cut for the first day as to hold the cut together.after that i just leave bandaid off and use antibiotic on it.either way keep it clean.a cut must get air to heal faster and properly.

a cut heals faster with band-aid. it will protect your wound from further infection. Bandages that absorb a wound's fluids and maintain a natural moisture balance are ideal for healing. Keeping a wound covered until it heals can prevent a scab from forming, thereby minimizing chances of scarring.
