need opinions on whether this looks bad (not car - injury)
« on: April 23, 2012, 03:43:44 pm »
I did something silly with these



and have ended up with this



and need to know whether to pull it off or go to a&e.. my finger has swollen up nicely and hurts a fair bit especially if something touches the top

its been two days and still looks deep and a bit.. well.. not pretty.. and im a bit worried about infection..

iv soaked it in tcp and salt water and changed the bandages but there is dirt in under the flap towards the bottom and really dont like the idea of peeling it back to scrub it..

oh and the flap goes from the top knuckly (you can see where it pulls away) to the nail (which you cant as its pushed down) which is where the dirt is..

Sorry mate I can't help. Looks nasty though.

I think this thread will be moved from the "mk5 general area" though

if it's a puncture wound you'll need antibiotics

if it's just a laceration then irrigation works better at reducing infection rates, but you've already done that with TCP and salt water by the sounds of it

if the swelling starts to track down the finger, then that's a sign of an infection and you need to go to A&E. if the pain has been getting worse over the last 2 days you need to go to A&E.

i assume your tetanus status is all in order? that would be another reason to pop to your local A&E dept

hmm.. think i might nip down the drop-in centre in that case

the finger is swollen but started swelling straight after the accident so can only presume its a reaction to the wound. Ill wash it again tonight with warm tcp and salt water and then if it doesnt look right tomurrow ill go to the drop-in..

At the moment it looks like its weeping (if you know what I mean) just makes me feel ill when I look at it  :rolleye: yup all shots up to date
