What to Use for Turf Burns

If you've ever fallen on the deceptively soft-looking surface known as artificial turf, you know it leaves a nasty abrasion.敷物の火傷と同様に、芝生の火傷は、一瞬で保護皮膚の最も外側の層を取り除き、柔らかく、時には血まみれの皮膚の層の下に露出します。 An athlete who lunges for the ball and slides on the turf frequently incurs such an injury. Proper healing of a turf burn requires a combination of good wound hygiene, soothing ointments and preventative protection.

1. Mild Cleanser

   • Sliding directly against turf collects bacteria and grit along with causing a turf burn.燃えた皮膚に穏やかな手洗浄またはクレンザーを穏やかでマッサージする散布により、堆積物や表面細菌が柔らかく露出した肉の中に沈殿するのを防ぎます。 Avoid using alcohol or soap with heavy fragrance, as this will cause severe stinging and could inflame the skin further. Rinse the wounded skin with cool water and pat it dry with a paper towel.

   Healing Ointment

   • Antibacterial ointments expedite cell growth by eliminating the bacteria on the surface. Fighting off infection delays the regrowth of your skin cells; eliminating the bacteria allows your body to focus all its energy on regrowing healthy skin. Spread an antibacterial ointment over the entire affected surface with a cotton pad or swab after every cleansing. Avoid touching the burn with your fingers to prevent irritation and infection.

   Dry Bandages

   • Keeping the turf-burned skin clean, covered and slightly moist with ointment creates the optimum environment for regenerating skin cells. A flexible, slightly absorbent cover over your turf burn protects the skin while drawing draining fluids away from the healing surface. If using large bandages, tape the perimeter to the skin to reduce the entry of contaminants and dirt. Change your bandage twice a day, or as often as necessary to keep the skin clean and dry.

   Protective Apparel

   • Turf-burned skin lacks any natural protective layer, making proper apparel all the more necessary.火傷が癒されている間、そして包帯を取り除いた後でさえ、ハイテクナイロンのような滑らかで吸える繊維で作られた衣服で傷を完全に覆います。 High-tech workout clothing won't rub harshly against your skin and its wicking ability will keep moisture from settling inside the burn.
