There is a very high risk of self-suturing wounds, including serious consequences such as infection, tissue damage, scar hyperplasia and even sepsis. **It is strongly recommended to seek professional medical treatment as soon as possible after injury**. If you are temporarily unable to seek medical attention immediately, the following steps are only used as a temporary emergency measure in extreme cases, but please be sure to contact your doctor as soon as possible.： --- ###️️ Principles of emergency response (alternative to non-professional suture) 1. **Thoroughly clean the wound** -Rinse the wound with flowing water or saline for at least 5 minutes to remove dirt and bacteria. -Use iodophor or medical alcohol (avoid pouring directly into the wound) to disinfect the surrounding skin. 2. **Hemostasis** -Press the wound with clean gauze or sterile dressing to raise the injured area to reduce bleeding. -If bleeding continues, pressurize the bandage and seek medical attention as soon as possible. 3. **Temporarily close the wound** -**Avoid using needle and thread**: Non-sterile environments and non-professional techniques can easily cause infection and deep tissue damage. -Switch to **Sterile band-aids, medical tape (such as “butterfly bandage”) or skin closure glue** (such as medical cyanoacrylate glue) to temporarily align the edge of the wound. -Cover with sterile gauze and fix with a bandage to keep it dry. 4. **Close observation and timely medical attention** -Even if the wound seems to be closed, you still need to seek medical attention within 24 hours, especially for deep wounds, animal bites or severely contaminated wounds. -If there is redness, swelling, exudation, fever or increased pain, seek medical attention immediately (it may be infected). --- ###的 Absolutely prohibited behavior -**Use household needles, staples and other non-sterile tools for suture**: Greatly increase the risk of tetanus and necrotic infections. -**Apply alcohol/hydrogen peroxide to the inside of the open wound**: Destroy the tissue's ability to heal. -**Rely on "hemostatic powder” or folk remedies**: It may mask signs of infection or cause foreign body residues. --- ### 重要 Important reminder The skin has a strong self-healing ability, and most superficial wounds can heal naturally by proper cleaning and bandaging. The “success” of self-suture may mask internal injuries (such as nerve and tendon fractures), leading to permanent loss of function. Please always take professional handling as your first choice!
