Cuts

Cuts are skin injuries which usually occur from injury. Cuts can range in severity from minor to severe and this will inform the appropriate treatment options. All cuts should be treated to prevent infection. If the cut is deep or dirty, a tetanus shot may be required. Treatment involves stopping bleeding, cleaning the area, applying topical antibiotic creams where necessary and covering or dressing the cut. Herbal remedies can help promote healing and homeopathy can also be useful in healing cuts.
