Learn about minor wounds - Different Types of Wounds 

How to treat a wound depends on the type of wound. Thorough cleaning of the wound and the area surrounding the wound is essential in order to reduce the risk of infection. 

Grazes: common in children, they can be painful but usually leave no scar. Grazes are often dirty, so there is a higher risk of infection. Minor grazes can usually be treated at home. 
Cuts: tend to bleed a lot because of damage to blood vessels. Minor cuts can usually be treated at home. 
Bites: animal bites should always be medically examined due to the high risk of infection. 
Blisters: caused by excessive friction on the skin. Most blisters are filled with a clear fluid (serum), but may be filled with blood (blood blisters) or pus if they become inflamed or infected. Minor blisters can usually be treated at home.
Pressure ulcers: also known as pressure sores or bedsores are caused by an area of skin placed under pressure therefore disrupting the flow of blood through the skin.
