In the medical world, the term wound is defined as the loss of continuous integrity in the skin. The wound may be clear cut wound, rubbed wound or crushed wound. Generally, the wound is classified into a tidy wound and untidy wound.
The main aim is to heal the wound quickly. It is a complex process to attain the normal structural and the functional integrity of the wound. The healing of wound depends on its types as said above.
First, the wound should be cleaned with sterile water or with normal saline. The foreign body like glass piece, soil, sand particles should be removed. And once again the wound is cleaned with clean sterile water. The wound is then applied with any antibiotic cream, nowadays which is easily available in the market. If the wound is made by any rusty iron knife or by any sand contaminated materials, then go to the nearby hospital and ask the physician to prescribe TT(tetanus toxoid) injection, which may prevent septicemia(blood loaded with infectious micro-organisms).
The cleaned wound will form simple scars and the wound with minimum tissue loss will form a wide scar and the healed skin will be thick.
If the wound is more severe and if there are more tissue and blood loss, then just do first aid like stopping the bleeding by putting pressure on the wound with some clean cloth or any sterile cotton and rush to the nearby hospital and get the necessary treatment.
