Badly Cut Knee
21 Answers
My eldest daughter has really hurt her knee (fell over yesterday and managed to cut a three year old scar off her knee). I covered it today but she has gone to bed with bare legs to try and dry it out. What should I do tomorrow for school - she wears a skirt and tights (it's cold here at the moment). Should I put a dressing on it (too big for even a ginormous plaster), I a worried that tights will stick to her leg. Thanks (sorry if the detail is a bit yucky).

A melolin dressing would be best but, failing that, anything to simply keep the wound clean and prevent it adhering to your daughter's tights would do.

Thanks all - she had a long soak in the bath last night and tonight she has gone to bed in her pj top and pants to try and get some air to it (no idea what I am talking about, seemed like a good idea though). Will put a dressing on it for school as its too cold for a skirt and socks. Will google mepore, thanks. Have told the teacher that her leg is really sore (right on her knee) and she is allowed to sit on a char and not the carpet at circle time. Apparently she was really brave, didn't even cry but needed some water as she nearly keeled over. She is a real little trooper (bless her). Thanks all (I am rubbish at medicines and really rubbish at gore of any kind (weak stomach) but obviously want to make sure I don't do the wrong thing).
