Diabetic Wound Care Basics

Safe First Aid for Minor Cuts and Scrapes

People living with diabetes often pay extra attention to their skin and minor injuries. This guide covers basic first aid only — the kind used for everyday minor cuts and scrapes. For anything deeper, more serious, or slow to improve, a healthcare professional should always be consulted.

Why First Aid Matters

Basic first aid helps keep minor cuts and scrapes protected and clean. Using a first aid antiseptic helps protect the wound and helps protect against infection.

Simple, Safe First Aid Steps for Minor Injuries

  1. Rinse gently with clean water.

  2. Apply a first aid antiseptic intended for minor cuts, scrapes, and burns.

  3. Add a clean bandage if needed.

  4. Monitor the area and seek medical care if it does not appear minor.
