What are skin tears and trauma?
Skin tears and trauma occur when damage happens to the skin tissues primarily through friction, shearing events, and blunt force. These injuries affect older adults most frequently because elderly skin becomes thin and fragile through natural ageing, yet they can also happen to any person with skin breakdown or during traumatic events.
Skin Tear Classification
You may need to consult your doctor or go to the nearest clinic or hospital if you experience traumatic wounds and skin tears. If the wound shows an indication of infection through increased inflammation, warmth production, or discharge of pus. If the affected area recedes to heal improperly while bleeding persists. If the pain doesn’t go away and becomes unbearable and persistent.
If you are experiencing any of those situations mentioned above, you need quality medical attention with suitable treatments to prevent medical complications from happening.
Harley Street Skin Clinic can provide proper wound healing to treat skin tears while managing pain and stopping potential infections. They can also conduct risk factors assessment to identify and evaluate your conditions.
Skin tears and trauma can be caused by several factors such as:
There are certain factors that can make the skin fragile such as:
Those individuals who suffer from skin tears and trauma might be at risk of infection if the wounds are not cured properly, which might as well lead to scarring permanently. They can also experience pain, which may cause them to move hard.
Visible skin injuries lead people to experience emotional consequences which result in self-consciousness or low self-esteem, thus causing them anxiety and social withdrawal.
If the skin tears and trauma are not given proper medical attention and are not healed properly, it may become infected, which could advance to sepsis or gangrene.
If you have thin or fragile skin, it is better that you wear protective garments that include long sleeves, gloves, or soft padding materials to help prevent any damage to your skin.
Remove hazards from home
Home safety requires both the removal of hazards and the reduction of home clutter to prevent skin tears or any accidents that may lead to injuries to fragile skin.
The dryness of your skin will increase its tendency to tear. The regular use of moisturiser will keep skin hydrated. Select a fragrance-free moisturiser that contains glycerin or hyaluronic components because these ingredients will improve skin elasticity.
Avoid harsh soaps
The use of gentle cleansers instead of harsh soaps should be the choice to sustain the skin barrier function. Also, you should apply gentle pressure when cleaning your skin tears to avoid irritation.
Lifting or walking aid equipment should always be used for the care of elderly and needy patients to help them stay safe against falls which often lead to skin injuries or chronic wounds.
Install grab bars and handrails
You must install grab bars and handrails particularly inside bathrooms and alongside stairways to balance support to avoid accidental falls or slips.
Water has a big role in our lives, most especially in our overall health. The skin remains flexible and elastic when you consume enough water regularly.
Eat Skin Friendly Foods
Malnutrition can have a negative impact on a patient’s overall health and skin integrity. A diet consisting of foods that benefit skin health and resilience should include antioxidants together with vitamins C and E along with omega-3 nutrients.
It is advisable to regularly check the condition of your skin, especially if you have thin or fragile skin. This will help detect early signs of redness and dryness as well as bruising. Risk assessment and early prevention is important.
Address minor issues as early as possible
Skin tear management is important. If you notice that there is a small wound or irritation on your skin, treat it right away before the problem worsens. Early treatment of skin tears improves patient outcomes and can prevent unnecessary tissue loss.
