Cuts normally heal within a few days, but you should contact a medical professional as soon as you recognise signs of an infected cut or graze. When germs enter the sensitive tissues under our skin, this can cause an infected cut. In case of infection, the wound will need specialist medical treatment because infected cuts become more painful over time.

This pack contains 20 plasters: 6 plasters - 30mm x 72mm and 14 plasters - 19mm x 72mm

Most cuts and grazes are minor and can be easily treated at home. Stopping the bleeding, cleaning the wound thoroughly and covering it with a Elastoplast Sensitive Plaster 20s. Minor wounds should start to heal within a few days An abrasion means that the surface layers of the skin (epidermis) has been broken. Thin-skinned bony areas (like knees, ankles and elbows) are more prone to abrasions than thicker, more padded areas. The scraped skin of an abrasion can contain particles of dirt.

Cuts and scrapes happen when your skin is accidentally broken or worn away. This can be the result of a fall, banging against a hard object, or being cut by something sharp. We all get cuts sometimes, but some people are more prone to these injuries than others. Children, for instance, almost always have some sort of minor skin damage just from playing. Others more likely to get cuts and scrapes include older people and people who have delicate skin because of certain illnesses or medications.

What is a graze?

• Superficial injury where the top layer of skin is torn or scraped off
• Commonly caused by sliding falls
• Road dirt and gravel can become embedded in the wound and can cause infection if not cleaned or removed properly
• Grazes can be quite painful
