If the wound is located on the skin between the joints, it seems that it might be enough to just cover the finger with the Band-Aid. However, in reality, its edges can cause discomfort when bending joints, while the Band-Aid itself will unstick easily and slide around, exposing the wound. That’s why in order to secure it reliably and comfortably on the skin, it’s recommended to crop it correctly.

An important note:

? To prevent any possible contact with dirt and bacteria, make sure to always use only new Band-Aids, so that the surface (the part that is attached to the wound) is covered with a protective film.

? When applying the Band-Aid, don’t apply it so tightly that you prevent normal blood circulation. The Band-Aid should wrap around your finger, but not squeeze it too tightly.
