Would a cut on your skin be healed if you covered it with glue instead of a band!


Question:

Would a cut on your skin be healed if you covered it with glue instead of a bandage?


Answers:

Your body heals the wound - not the bandage.
The bandage's job is to protect the wound so it doesn't get dirty and infected.
Glue might do this well, but it has a lot of drawbacks.
The primary is that it would prevent air from getting to the skin. You need some air circulation.
The second is that it would interfere with the surface of the wound and bond to the exposed tissue - which would prevent them from regenerating (which is the healing process).

Glue would be a bad choice.
