Keeping moist and covering early in wound healing may accelerate wound healing and may reduce scar formation. Therefore, we can choose to apply a moisturizer, pure petroleum jelly is more suitable for non-infected wounds.

3. Avoid wound involvement

You can use a dry bandage or gauze to cover it after applying the moisturizer to prevent your hands from getting sick.
