Why should I not expose the wound to air?

Exposing wound to air allows dirt and bacteria to stick to it and cause infection. You should bandage a wound to protect it from friction with clothes and other body parts. Adhesive bandage, crape bandage and gause/cotton bandage are some common types of bandages that provide protection and support to the injured area.
