Myth: Minor cuts and scrapes - clean then let them air dry. Apparently, this is no longer true and this has been confirmed by the nurses and dermatologist at Ramathibodi Hospital in Bkk. We are supposed to clean the wounds and keep them moist for at least 5 days with Vaseline to help speed up recovery. My dermatologist also says that keeping a wound moist and out of the sun can also lessen permanent scars! Now that is always a good thing. ;D - Pat Kay For more details, check this article out from the NY Times.
