Hey,

*cuddles you gently* Do you know what triggered you tonight, do you think? But first of all - do you need stitches or anything? Are they clean and dressed? If you're worried, PM one of the First Aid Advisors or get seen by a doctor. Stay safe, love

Hey, that happend to me right above the knee. If it is seriously deep and will not stay scabbed over or sealed shut go to the doctor. That is what I had to do and got stiches. Don't let it get to the point it gets infected either. Can you talk to whoever does your dance practice or what not about this and maybe take a break until it heals?

If you need stitches or it seen to then please do.

Also, that is a reasonably sensitive area. Obviously because it is near a joint it is going to take longer to heal. when you walk or dance it may keep reopening.

it might be a good idea to see a dr anyway, they might know how to treat it to best aid healing.

take care

i don't think i need stitches it's they're not too deep, just deeper than usual for me, I don't even know why it has been so bad this week, probably just exam stressing, I do see my doctor regularyish but not till next week, i might just have to sit out a bit at dance if i really can't do ir i don't want to tell my teacher.. thanks for the replies x
