it has a layer of skin taken off, my ankle is slightly swollen, and its slightly red around the cut. is it ok, or do you think its infected?
Answer:
Because I'm not a doctor, I can't say. But I do have something I know will take care of an infection, and it certainly cannot hurt. Get a wash cloth and with water as hot as you can stand, soap it up with an anti-bacterial soap, like dial. leaving it soapy, but not too drippy, put it on the sore place for about 20 min. do that at least 3 x's a day. If it's low enough and you have something that can hold enough water to cover, do the same basically. Make the water as hot as you can stand, make it really soapy, and soak.
If you see a red line coming up from it, get to the hospital, now. That's blood poisoning. If you do as I suggested, you should not get that bad, it should heal right up.Blessed Be
its infected go see a doctor.
no, it's just irritated. put some neosporin on it according to the directions. until it heals.
theres an easy way to find out,
get some hydrogen peroxide and wipe it on the cut (THIS WILL STING)
if it bubbles white ALOT you should see a doctor
if it bubbles only a little bit, just clean up the scrape, and band-aid it, and eventually, the scrape will heal
If it hurts and you want to put a band-aid on, go to the drugstore and get the First Aid brand Advanced Healing bandaids. I had a big cut (i posted a question about it) and i put it on there yesterday. It forms a white bubble under the bandid where the cut is to help it from healing and not scabbing, so you wont have any scares,but wash it out and put some hydrogen peroxide on it.
