Question:
How should I dress my toddlers wound on her forehead?
A curtain pole holder fell and took a gouge out of her forehead, but I dont think its bad enough to go to the docs, its sort of triangular and only about half a cm but has gouged away most of the skin leaving the flesh underneath. I was going to put a steri strip on, but it would pull her skin and leave a pucker as its not a tear, Ive cleaned it and just put neosporin on it after the pharmasist told me to, but dont want to put on a bandage as it wont stop beading and shell rip it off anyway, its not pouring blood, just wont scab over. Any suggestions please?
Answers:
Leave it open to the air, it will clot on its own.
Distract her from it by playing with her until it clots naturally.
