General Medical Question - Urgent - Bubble?

.ghost. · 01-07-2007, 07:00 PM

I don't have any deep cuts but some are quite wide and you can see the fat (or at least what I think is fat) but one of my cuts from last night seems to have some kind of bubble or something in it.

I have no idea why and I've never noticed it in any other cuts before. It's kind of yellowyish in colour and doesn't hurt when I was prodding it. It's not infected or anything, is it a bubble of fat or something? It's probably about 2-3mm across.

It's freaking me out, and also makes me what to cut over the cut out of curiosity which can't be good so if anyone has any advice then it would be really helpful.

sounds just like a fat bubble to me, they are kinda like yellow cottage cheese looking. they need stitches to properly close, please get it looked after.

Thanks. I can't go anywhere to get stiches and the cuts not really that deep anyway.

Is there anything I need to do myself or just keep it clean?

Thanks.

keep it clean and depending on how long ago sometime steri strips can be used however i think it is too late this time, you might wanna get some though for future incase, they come from boots for a few quid, very handy. Keep it clean and dry for now. xxx

As the others said, it does sound like a fat bubble, I remember the first time I ever saw one on myself, I wasn't sure what it was either, I used steri strips to attemtp to close the wound, but when it gets to that depth, then really you need stitches. I have a bad scars where that was on me now, steri stips weren't enough, but im not sure you can get stitches at this poitn, i suggest seeing your doctor.
