puncutre wound
 

Hi guys.
I have not done this for a while but i have put something sharp through my skin. I left it there for about 10 minutes, and it went really warm and like a big circle of redness all around it.So i took the item out straight away,but it's been like 10 minutes and the redness and warmness are still there?
My fingers have just started to tingle! =[[
Argh,should i be worried? It's never done this before.
Thanks xxx

This sounds like you may have hit something important.
How is it feeling now?
Can you move all your fingers?
When you say it tingles, is it all the fingers of just certain ones?

It's still the same.
It's all the fingers,i can move them,but when i do,it kinda hurts,like a tingling hurting sorta thing. Like it's a sharp tingling feeling.
I'm kinda scared now.

Ok, well its difficult to be able to tell what this is without examing your hand and the wound. I would advise geting it looked at by a doctor to ensure that there is no permant damage.

Take care

Yeh i will,i'll ask my mum tomorrow to look at it.
Thanks for your help
(sorry for the tip sharing thing,i didn't realise.)

It sounds like you may have hit a tendon, ligament or nerve, and as Kim said, you should get it checked out.

My mum said its nothing to worry about,but it really hurts now,the area does look a lot better,but my hand is really sore. It's not tingling anymore,it just hurts when i move my fingers.
I can't go to the doctors because i have work experience today.

Please go as soon as you can, get it checked out, take care hun xxx

You go to a walk in centre when you finsh work.
You need to get it checed out as soon as you can to help prevent any further damage.

was the thing u put through ur skin dirty or anything?
u might want to check that out as well...

and as for telling ur mum u can just say u put ur hand in a draw and it went through ur finger or something.
