Detailed explanation-1: -For example, healthcare professionals usually apply a topical antibiotic ointment to a scrape or small cut, and then cover it with gauze or a bandage. This keeps new skin and other cells alive. It also helps protect the area from dirt, germs and further injury and may feel more comfortable than leaving a wound open.
Detailed explanation-2: -Apply a thin layer of an antibiotic ointment or petroleum jelly to keep the surface moist and help prevent scarring. Certain ingredients in some ointments can cause a mild rash in some people. If a rash appears, stop using the ointment. Cover the wound.
Detailed explanation-3: -Elastic bandages are commonly used in the treatment of various musculoskeletal disorders, including knee osteoarthritis (OA). Some patients with knee OA who use bandages report pain relief and diminution of the feeling of “giving way” and fear of falling.
