As a mom of three and a board-certified dermatologist, I’ve treated more scraped knees than I can count 👩🏽‍⚕️🩹⁠ ⁠ Here’s what I actually do when my kids get a scrape:⁠ ⁠ ✅ Rinse with cool water — no soap, no peroxide, no alcohol (those can sting and slow healing!)⁠ ✅ Gently pat dry with a clean towel⁠ ✅ Skip the Neosporin — it’s a common allergen⁠ ✅ Apply plain petroleum jelly to keep the area moist (this helps it heal faster and reduces scarring)⁠ ✅ Cover with a clean bandage and change daily (or sooner if it gets wet or dirty)⁠ ⁠ Simple, effective, derm-approved. 💯⁠ ⁠ #dermatologistmom #skintips #kidshealth #scrapetreatment
