OnTheRocks Posted January 31, 2005 Share Posted January 31, 2005 go to the shed...get a hacksaw......and start cutting! you are doooooooooomed! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ajzepp Posted January 31, 2005 Share Posted January 31, 2005 ok no infection 223673[/snapback] So does that mean the skin looks normal? lol The reason I ask is because one of the complications of a small cut like that is cellulitis. Usually the skin will become red and irritated around the site. It can be kind of 'weepy' at times, so when you say it was a clear fluid that's what came to mind. Are you diabetic?

MikeG Posted January 31, 2005 Share Posted January 31, 2005 dude.... minor cut... pour some peroxide on it, then some neosporin and a band-aid... you'll be fine. Unless you got cut by an old rusty fence post or something, or need stitches... no big deal. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Unless you got cut by an old rusty fence post or something, or need stitches... no big deal. 223700[/snapback] Even though I tend to still use it, peroxide isn't used in hospitals on wounds (even small cuts) because it can actually lead to scarring. If the cut is open even a little bit, you're better off using saline or some other first-aid spray. And then, like Mike said, put some neosporin on it and keep it covered. But if you aren't a diabetic and there is no change in the skin around the cut, you're probably fine. Your doc may prescribe systemic antibiotics anyway, but probably not neccesary.

LabattBlue Posted January 31, 2005 Share Posted January 31, 2005 Put some duct tape on it and get to work. If duct tape can stop a pipe from leaking, it can certainly stop a little pus. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KurtGodel77 Posted January 31, 2005 Share Posted January 31, 2005 You definitely want to use some disinfectant to eliminate any chance of infection. I prefer a mix of iodine and alcohol; but use whatever you want. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
