    It is common sense that the wound should not be wet before healing, and to explain this common sense problem, it needs to be explained from the knowledge of "pathophysiology": 1. People have a self-repair system, that is, in the case of injury and disease, this repair system will be activated. - After the trauma of the person, it will bleed and coagulate, and at the same time, the wound will have a "scab" (hardening and "sealing effect"), and this "scab" can not only stop bleeding, but also resist bacteria from entering the human body.

    - If the water is stained after the trauma, it will make the ** unable to dry, and this "scab" will not play a good role, one is that it may invade bacteria, and the other is to cause scar hyperplasia. 2. All bacteria need certain conditions for their growth, which is water, which is more likely to make bacteria grow after being wet; 3. Due to the permeability of water, if the wound is moist, bacteria will grow along the water, resulting in wound infection.

    When the wound is wet, it is generally not pure water, and the water may contain a large number of bacteria that can easily cause wound infection, and the moist environment of the wound is easy to breed bacteria. In addition, when the wound is wet, it will cause an immune reaction, which is not conducive to wound healing, so it is best not to get the wound wet. The wound contains a large number of tissues, cytokines, enzymes and other substances, and if the wound is wet, it will disturb the osmotic pressure and pH value around the cells at the wound site, directly injure the damaged cells, infect the tissue repair process, and affect the healing of the wound.
