How to Stop Children Picking At Scabs - Hansaplast
Every parent knows from experience that children
are incredibly prone to minor scrapes and
injuries. As they play and explore the world
around them, it's not uncommon to pick up a few
scars along the way. And while you cannot always
avoid these minor scrapes, what you can do is
ensure that the wounds heal in the proper way,
with minimal wound scarring. Use a wound
plaster The best way to reduce scars and stop a
child from picking at scabs is to cover the
wound up with a wound plaster. You can pick wound
plasters that are colourful or have fun patterns
so that your kid is not tempted to peel the
plaster off. Educate your kid about wound
healing Kids are a lot smarter than we give them
credit for. Turn storytime informative by
clueing your kids in on how skin picking causes
the wound to reopen and why that is bad for
their bodies. Use lotions to relieve
itching Sometimes your child might be scratching
at a scab simply because it is itchy. Using some
lotion around the scab can put a stop to
itchiness and prevent your child from scratching
at the wound.
