Should you keep it covered, or let it breathe? Ohio State University’s Wound Center says: Both. Keep it covered when you’re out and about, and your skin is exposed to pollution, germs, and debris. At home, uncover it and let it breathe – especially while you’re sleeping. Because that’s when the body uses oxygen to produce new skin cells and collagen, which seals the wound and helps it heal.

It’s been used as a remedy for centuries. It contains antibacterial enzymes that kill germs, amino acids that speed healing, and antioxidants that reduce inflammation. The Honey Research Unit in New Zealand recommends warming honey slightly. Then pour one tablespoon onto a sterile gauze pad, and tape it over the cut or scrape.

When the skin isn’t broken, using iodine, rubbing alcohol or peroxide is great for killing bacteria. But for a cut, it’s toxic to normal, healthy skin cells, and slows the healing process. According to family physician Dr. Neetee Gadgil, when peroxide bubbles, it isn’t just cleaning the wound. It’s also killing healthy skin cells, and blowing up red blood cells. The best way get rid of debris and bacteria in a cut: Hold it under running water.
