Question

what is the best way to clean a minor wound?
use hydrogen peroxide to disinfect the area.
rinse under running water and use soap.
apply rubbing alcohol.
leave the wound to dry naturally.

Explanation:

• Hydrogen peroxide can damage healthy tissue and delay wound healing.
• Rubbing alcohol is too harsh for minor wounds and can also harm healthy cells.
• Leaving a minor wound to dry naturally may not effectively remove dirt and debris.
• Rinsing under running water helps flush out dirt and debris, and using soap can further clean the area without causing excessive damage to the wound.

Answer:

Rinse under running water and use soap.
