Itchy scalp is common in children and often leads to unconscious scratching. But since the area is hidden beneath hair, parents may not notice the scratching until it becomes something more serious.

That’s exactly what happened to X, a 5-year-old child who had been persistently scratching their scalp. The problem only came to light when they began to complain about pain in the area.

Upon checking, the parents found an infected wound on the scalp. It appeared red, circular, and moist, with a white centre filled with pus. Naturally, concerns began to rise:

“What if the infection gets worse?”

To quickly manage the infection and ease the itching, a nurse applied wund+™ Wound Spray directly onto the wound on the scalp.

By day four, a brown scab began to form even though the surrounding skin was still slightly red. This was an early sign that healing had started.

The treatment continued consistently, and by day 10, the scab had thickened and turned yellowish. The wound looked drier, with no visible pus. Although there was still some redness, the infection appeared to be subsiding.

By the twelfth day, the scab started to thin out and gently peel at the edges. The surrounding skin looked clearer and less inflamed, signalling that healing was progressing well, even though there was still mild inflammation present.

On the seventeenth day, the scab had completely fallen off. The skin underneath looked clean and healthy. This is a clear sign of proper wound recovery.

This experience was a clear reminder that wund+™ Wound Spray is safe and effective for children, even when used on sensitive areas like the scalp. It helped keep the wound clean, controlled the infection, and supported a faster, gentler healing process.

With minimal discomfort, the child was able to return to daily activities without fuss.
