<human>: Hi my14 year old son fell off his bike onto the concrete at a skateboard park yesterday afternoon and has several grazes over his face some more superficial than others. They were cleaned with saline and covered for the night but I removed the dressings this am.Is there anything I should apply to the grazes now to avoid infection?
<bot>: Hi this is Chat Doctor. As per your description the matter the injury is not very serious, however the site is face and so chances of infection is a major issue.it will be of immense help if you can send me pictures of those abrasions. First in. Tetanus toxic 1 ampule should be taken within 24 hrs. If those r only superficial abrasions then you have to clean those wound with gauze piece and beta dine. After cleaning you can either apply mupirocin ointment or newsprint powder.newsprint powder helps in
