Scratch lesions ( underlying cause: itching )

How to handle scratch lesions?

Scratching is an automatic reaction to itching and can cause minor skin lesions. Once healed, often, these ‘old’ scratch lesions give extra itching which gives a worsening of the skin condition. The skin becomes vulnerable to new lesions.

• Try to find out the cause of the itching and follow the proposed treatment.
• Apply a soft silicone dressing with ReSkin technology over the affected area to protect the skin from further damage. In case of already existing scratch wounds, the soft silicone dressing with ReSkin technology will support the wound healing process.
