The overall treatment for wounds depends on the type, cause, and depth of the wound, and whether other structures beyond the skin are damaged
Minor wounds like bruises heal on their own with skin discoloration usually disappearing in one to two weeks
Abrasions, which are wounds with intact skin, usually require no active treatment beyond cleaning the affected area with soap and water
Punctured wounds may be prone to infection depending on the depth of penetration, and any object that penetrates the skin must be removed from the inside
Nosebleeds are common because the nose has a lot of blood vessels
First aid treatment for nosebleeding
1. Have the person sit upright
2. Hold the soft portion of the person's nose and pinch together
3. Avoid disturbing the clots
4. Take the casualty to the nearest hospital if bleeding persists after 30 minutes
