Infection - URGENT - advice on cut
I've cut myself badly this morning and am wondering at what stage do I need to seek medical advice? It has now almost stopped bleeding but is quite deep and might have reached the muscle...
What should I do?

It sounds like you should get it looked at, if you've gone as deep as muscle you definetely need to get it seen to, as you may have damaged nerves/tendons etc.
Let us know how you go? *hugs*

Get it looked at immediately if you leave it and it heals even a little bit they wont be able to close it just go to the nurse if you can today if not there are minor injury units a t hospitals otherwise a and e . I cant emphasize how important it is you go as soon as possible :)

But I being poor have only my dreams, I have spread my dreams under your feet ; tread softly as you tread on my dreams.
We are all in the gutter but some of us are looking at the stars.

Please go to A&E or a walk in centre if you haven't already.
Hope you're okay.

For what it's worth it was worth all the while. I hope you had the time of your life...
I can see you're sad, even when you smile, even when you laugh; I can see it in your eyes, deep inside you want to cry

If you think you can see anything in your cut you need to go to a doctor and see if it can be stitched up right away. There is a limited amount of time they can give stitches after the wound occurred, so the sooner you go in the better.
|
Well it breaks my heart to see you this way,
The beauty in life, where's it gone?
And somebody told me you were doing okay,
Somehow I guess they were wrong.

Though I have never seen anyone for help on a cut the general rule is if you can see stuff you normally can't, it's time to see a doctor. If you are embarrassed (don't worry, that's why I don't get help for them) you can get butterfly bandages which work like stitches, gauze, and gauze tape and use tons of healing creams...

Thanks to y'all for your advice - i did go and get it checked out at a&e soon after the first reply, and though it was pretty deep it wasn't as deep as i originally thought - but they put some butterfly stitches on it... At least it put my mind at rest anyway... Thanks again
