There are two methods to properly apply a patch

There are times when we have to use plasters more often than we’d like, especially when young children reach an age when they seem to need a plaster every day.

This is not surprising, of course, because accidents can happen while cooking, cutting food, etc. Have you always applied band-aid to your fingers correctly?
