What happens when the epidermis is?!
Question: slightly injured???
Answers: slightly injured???
How "slightly", Band-aid slightly or first degree burn slightly? Your body's first line of defense is compromised. You can get an infection. Use Neosporin ointment and a band-aid!
the second layer of skin is called epdermis...
if it isn't weeping fluid, clear or red then it will heal easily without help...if it is bleeding then you have potential for infection and should wash area with mild soap and water, cover with sterile pad and within 24 hours a scab will cover injury....
