A medical cotton ball manufacturer shares tips on how to treat impetigo in children.
2026-01-15
Medical cotton balls are frequently used in daily life and are essential items to have in every household medicine cabinet. As we enter summer once again—characterized by high temperatures, high humidity, and an abundance of mosquitoes and insects—while mosquito bites may not be very frightening for adults, they can easily lead to skin damage and even pus-filled sores in children if not properly cared for. Below, our medical cotton ball manufacturer will share a practical and effective set of methods for you to learn.
1. Before providing care, it’s necessary to prepare the required medical supplies, including medical cotton balls, hydrogen peroxide, Neo-anti-inflammatory ointment, and large-sized adhesive bandages (or alternatively, medical gauze plus medical tape).
2. Before touching your child’s skin, be sure to thoroughly wash your own hands. After washing, use a medical cotton swab dipped in hydrogen peroxide to gently wipe the wound. While you’re treating the wound, use soothing words to comfort your child and gently blow on the wound at the same time—this approach usually helps your child accept your care without resistance.
3. When the wound is soaked in hydrogen peroxide, small bubbles will form—a reaction similar to a miniature volcanic eruption. Once pus starts to emerge, use your thumb and index finger to gently press outward on both sides of the wound, squeezing out most of the pus. For any remaining small amount of pus, you can directly apply gentle pressure toward the center of the wound. At first, this may be painful, but your child’s tolerance will gradually improve. Therefore, apply firm, continuous pressure throughout the entire drainage process—avoid repeatedly releasing and reapplying pressure, as this could unnecessarily increase your child’s discomfort. Afterward, simply use a cotton swab soaked in hydrogen peroxide to thoroughly clean the wound.
4. After the skin at the wound site has dried, you can apply an anti-inflammatory ointment. Once finished, cover the area with a large-sized adhesive bandage or medical gauze. It’s worth noting here that medical gauze has excellent breathability.
5. Following the above procedure, change the dressing 1–2 times daily. In about 3 days, the pustular lesion should start to disappear. If you have aloe vera gel, you can also apply it frequently to reduce inflammation and relieve itching, helping the epidermis to heal and recover completely.
The above is a recommendation from a medical cotton ball manufacturer on how to treat impetigo in children. If you have a better method, feel free to share it with us. For more information, please visit our website or call us for consultation.
