Cuts, Scrapes, Burns & Other Wounds

Cuts, scrapes, burns and other wounds should be monitored because they can breach the skin, your body’s largest defense system. Other skin problems include boils, calluses, cold sores, sunburn, frostbite, bruises, corns and pressure sores. All can lead to serious problems if ignored. Burns and open wounds are susceptible to infection without adequate wound dressing. Injuries to the skin may leave scars.
