How do you use new skin glue?

New skin glue, also known as liquid bandage, is a handy tool for minor cuts and scrapes. Here’s how you use it:

Preparation

1. Clean the wound: Gently wash the cut or scrape with soap and water. Pat it dry thoroughly.
2. Remove any debris: Make sure no dirt, gravel, or other foreign objects remain in the wound.
3. Allow the wound to air dry: Let the area dry completely before applying the liquid bandage.

Application

1. Shake the bottle well: Ensure the liquid bandage is mixed properly before applying it.
2. Apply a thin layer: Gently apply the liquid bandage directly to the wound using the applicator.
3. Let it dry completely: Do not touch the area until the liquid bandage has dried completely, which may take a few minutes.

Aftercare

1. Keep it dry: Avoid getting the treated area wet for at least 24 hours.
2. Observe for signs of infection: Look for redness, swelling, or discharge. If you notice any of these, consult a doctor.
3. Reapply as needed: Reapply the liquid bandage if it starts to peel or wear off.

Additional Tips

• Some liquid bandages come in a spray form for easier application.
• It’s recommended to check the packaging for specific instructions from the manufacturer.
