Baby fell and scraped his skin, bleeding a lot. Can Yunnan Baiyao be used?

Patient's question:

No

Doctor's answer:

Hello, after cleaning the wound, using Yunnan Baiyao powder is quite good. Generally, it does not require bandaging. For such superficial wounds, special treatment is usually not needed, just local disinfection is sufficient. Wound healing takes time, but as long as it does not get infected, it will gradually improve. It is best to use povidone-iodine for disinfection. If the wound area is large and there is exudate, you can bandage it with sterile gauze to prevent external contamination and inflammation.
