Minor wounds like cuts or scrapes can be treated from the home. However, wounds that cut deeper than a quarter inch or bleed continuously and excessively should be treated by a medical doctor.
The body is designed to heal and repair minor wounds by itself but with a little assistance, it is bound to heal faster and prevent scarring.

- Protect The Wound
