Skin Tear and Nutrition

Skin Tear and Nutrition

Skin tears can lead to difficulty as pain delayed wound healing, distortion, cellulitis, or generalized sepsis. The basic goals in treating a skin tear are to save the skin flap, if possible, protect the surrounding tissue, reattach the edges without straining them too much, and finally protect the spot to prevent infection and additional injury. Food is the finest source of these nutrients. Carbohydrates provide you energy to recover. Glucose is necessary for wound healing because it promotes the proliferation of cells, fibroblasts, and leukocytes. As part of the immune response, it is critical for cell communication. To save protein for wound repair and healing, energy needs must be satisfied.
