for wounds like these you can squeeze it and apply superglue to top layer then bandages to keep it squeezed for few days, no stiches required.
>>
>>524165384
You're going to have a horrendous scar, that wound needs stitches.

You might want to stitch or tack it to avoid a big scar. You can use a regular tacker for this, just disinfect that shit

It would have been a simple multi suture procedure with some antibiotics on the way out. Pcp follow up to remove the sutures. 2k bill tops

I did something similar recently and it got infected with a red ring around it

Its healing up and scarring nicely but the red ring is still there, gotten a bit smaller.

Do I still need antibiotics at this point?

>Use superglue to hold the wound together if you can't stitch.

I was working with my buddy, and he cut his hand pretty bad... so I gave him a tube of superglue to put on it to close it up.
you should have seen his face when he put it on.
I didn't tell him that it burns like a motherfucker.
I was laughing my ass off at him. he was so pissed off at me for that. he wanted to punch me so bad. kek.
but it kept the wound closed.

Can someone advise? is a tiny bit of cellulitis normal for deep puncture wounds?

Its scabbed up and healed but the little red ring is still there, not growing outwards tho

>>
>>524165874
Immediate alcohol wash ASAP, multiple times. You could stitch it yourself or have a relative / close one do it. Then bandage it.

Its a bitch to clean a wound like that if it was punctured / stabbed by something dirty though.
>>
>>524165855
Tetanus is really my only concern, and only because it sounds so decisively unpleasant. You can spasm decades after you've cleared the infection.
>>
>>524165504
Just keep it clean.
Maybe some rubbing alcohol.
There's been much debate lately about hydrogen peroxide on wounds doing more harm than good.

btw, nice progress on the cabin.
Starting to look like a livable space.

is it normal for the wound to heal and scab up fine but the tiny cellulitis ring around it to remain for a couple weeks?

Use saline soaked bandages and rip those bitches off every night exposing fresh wound to air to fight infections.
Scarring is much worse doing this tho

what do you think of vani cream bar soap?

Is a small red ring of cellulits around a healing wound norrmal if it doesn't grow at all and the wound heals fine?
>>
>>524165975
Cellulitis is never normal kek, cellulitis is an infection of the skin. Redness can be normal but only if it’s staying the same size and not traveling up your arm. If it starts traveling up your arm you need antibiotics asap. Signs of infection are oozing, bad smell, warm to the touch or redness spreading. Really though if you see any redness traveling up your arm don’t fuck around, that means the infection isn’t localized anymore aid traveling and can lead to sepsis.

its staying the same size and not growing at all, none of those signs.

Just the localized redness, which may even be contact dermatitis from using too much neosporin

my wound is already scabbed over

I went to urgent care and I only got topical antibiotics so I've been putting those on.

The redness is fading very slowly but the little red circle arorund the wound is still there.

Do i need oral antibiotics?

>>524165610
Are you the anon that was posting about his cabin on /pol/ and /out/ a few weeks ago?
>>
>>524166115
yes, perfectly normal, especially if you pick at your scab. with age it takes a bit longer to heal but it still heals unless you got weak immune system. from what you showed in your first photo you're good, there is no infection, it will scar like that and you'll always have that dimple but with years it'll turn white and more or less match your skin tone
>>
you needed stitches
>>
>>524165384
Bro. Just get it taken care of. Even if all goes well big scars can just kinda fucking hurt. Just a sort of dull ache that pretty much never goes away entierly. Why subject yourself to that when you've just got this one body to work with your whole life? They'll provide emergency treatment regardless of pretty much anything, a few stitches shouldn't be much more than a few k at most even without insurance, medical bills generally can't be subject to interest so you can usally chip away at bills even with very small payments without worrying too much about it if you want, and pretty much the wort that can happen isna hit to your credit score if you don't pay.

Putting aside that you're terminally retarded,
Pictured wound is similar to OP 20 years later.
H2O2 kills YOUR cells as good as it kills bacteria.
I use iodine surgical scrub for horses and a toothbrush to scrub out serious wounds.
Then I wrap them in salt water bandage and go about my day.
Then I rip that shit off at night, replace saltwater bandage, repeat till healed.

Most medical emergencies be dealt with by having some basic first aid training, a well stocked kit, and a good sized stash of antibiotics. Long term health is just a matter of diet and exercise. Doctors are midwit whites at best or malignant kikes trying to get you on drugs you don't need at worst. Especially as standards by which we train and vet professionals are going to continue to decline in clown world, it's increasingly important that you become your own doctor.

Probably should have tried to keep the wound edges closer together unless it just shaved the skin off. To me it looks like your skin split apart, and is a wide wound which should have had the wound edges maybe taped with butterfly bandage or similar to keep the wound edges tight on each other.

Might be too late now but it's worth trying to keep the wound edges closer together.

Also, I would recommend polysporin or similar while it's still healing, but it's your forearm.

1. Things like antibiotics and tetanus shots are not readily available to the public.
2. Deep wounds often require stitches, which is a skill most people do not have (along with the localized anesthesia and tools required).

First Aid can only go so far. That wound is luckily not deep enough to need much irrigation or stitches. Tetanus is a little bit of a worry though, as is infection.

Just watch for infection. If it gets infected make them swab it, not try to fuck you off with a broad spectrum anti biotic, which often cannot possibly work.

All that discoloration doesn't look good, infected wounds hurt like a motherfucker though and scab over white/yellow with pus leaking when you remove the scab.

You should know this because it's fucking retarded to rely on someone else for something of vital importance.
Last time I took first aid they were teaching not to use tourniquets because they just assume someone else is going to deal with it in time.
Most wounds aren't going to get infected because the blood goes outward. They have to be deep by something in an unclean environment or abrasions that don't really bleed but have a lot of dirt in them to need disinfecting.
Stitches are cosmetic unless your organs are falling out. OP fucked up his arm pretty badly obviously as far as appearance goes.
I believe I read that 10% of cuts get infected which is laughably ridiculously high. I have cut myself doing sheet metal thousands of times in all kinds of dirty construction environments.

I love when self healing retards like you and everyone alike you end up in ER because you superglue a cut without proper cleaning and end up trapping deadly streptoccocus under your wound, resulting in a massive body infection along with gangrene.

There is a very good reason doctors and nurses prefer stitches to superglue

combat medic reporting in.

Looks good to me brother. Iodine/alcohol for immediate effect, followed by moist compression, then a superglue (for aesthetic reasons if you want) for wound care is dangerously based and redpilled.

Peroxide is not necessary. Everything anyone should need for BASIC wound care should be found in a well stocked kitchen. That is kind of the reason that BASIC wound care is why is what it is. Pouring some high proof liquor on a wound and stitiching it together with a disinfected fishing line is even more based though.

Wounds on your lower legs take longer to heal on account of insufficient bloodflow.
It's clearly infected but that's to be expected.
Topical antibiotics aren't going to cut it and probably explain the weird flakiness.
Assuming you're dead set on not employing modern medicine, wrap it in a hot towel as often as you can.
Obviously not scalding hot but hot as you can stand.
Also probably should palpate around the outer edges of the ring in case its started to calcify.
You need bloodflow for your immune system to do its thing.
Or, y'know, go to a local clinic and get a script for antibiotics.
Also smell it regularly. If it starts smelling like cheese you need to go to a hospital.

We spend more for worse outcomes retard.
The problem with our system is that many people aren't covered by our expensive insurance-based system. So they wind up going to the emergency room when they have problems, which will treat them regardless of their ability to pay. These costs don't disappear. They end up getting passed on to people who can pay.
Universal coverage handles those costs in a systemized manner instead of haphazardly on a case-by-case basis. Furthermore, it gives people the means to get screened via regular check ups so that catastrophic health problems can be caught while they're still cheap to treat instead of waiting for the worse to happen. The net result is a lower financial burden on the whole system. Add on the fact that single payer puts the government in a unique position to negotiate prices on a level insurance companies aren't able to do and it's kind of a no brainer.
You're literally criticizing systems that have been proven more effective because muh free market. But people in other countries wouldn't trade what they have for what we have for the world. Pouring all the money in the world into an inefficient system doesn't make that system better.

If as you say it was a deep wound, that means bacteria is getting underneath the skin. This explains why the redness is so wide. If it were just inflammation it would be at most a centimeter on either side.
All the topical antibiotics are doing are keeping your epidermis sterile. Your epidermis is already dead so it getting nom-nomed by bacteria isn't really a concern.
That said, it might be putting evolutionary pressure on the bacteria eating your dermis which is a very bad idea. Antibiotic-resistant streptococcus is no joke and not the lifelong companion you want on your skin.
So yeah, stop the neosporin, keep the wound clean (that includes bandaging btw), apply hot compress often, palpate if it's feeling "crispy", and do regular sniff checks.
If it goes gangraneous, you do not have much time to save the leg. It won't look bad at first, but that's because all the terrible shit is going on down below.

Infection is a spectrum. Your body is constantly fighting off infections. There are a host of micrsopic creatures you eating you every second of every day. Hel, there's a specific species of mite that only feeds on our eyelashes.
That said, location matters. Infections ON the skin are irritating. Infections UNDER the skin are dangerous. Now, your body is perfectly capable of fighting those off too, but the consequences of failure are a wee more dire.

Insurance lobbying firms, like Ogilvy Government Relations, BGR Group, and specialized consultancies such as Park Strategies and Capital City Consulting, represent major insurers (AIG, USAA, Blue Cross/Blue Shield), associations (NAIC, APCIA), and related entities, influencing policy on regulation, product design, taxation, and market conduct, with significant spending tracked by sources like OpenSecrets.
But yes it's someone dragging themselves to the parking lot after treatment due to fear of a massive bill.

Get a spool of thin thread and a sewing needle at least anon. The half back stitch is the only stitch you really need

It's not just that. There's also the issue of the government treating the industry as a kind of noble privilege in that they artificially restrict entrance to the market as a provider, but more than that American healthcare is essentially on demand and generally high quality. It turns out that given the option people will spend quite a lot to stay alive.

>What do you think of the contact dermatitis theory? That by drowning it in neosporin and shitty band aids I gave myself it.
yes... it's something like that
it's not infected, it'd be pretty obvious to you if it were - ie, pain, swelling, heat, puss, etc

just wash it with soap and water and keep it dry
don't put anything topical on it anymore

>all i did is clean it and rap it. leaen first aid
Two spelling mistakes in two sentences, impressive. Both American quality healthcare and education on full display in this post

Unless you're injecting it (don't do that - look up "krokodil' for why) it is not getting down to the dermis. Your epidermis is there to keep shit out and that includes topical medications.
If, as you say, you are "drowning it in 3x neosporin" then that area should be as sterile as a beach in Da Neng after an arclight mission. The fact it looks like dried out wax supports this.
I'm confident if you peel off one of those flakes, the dermis underneath will be just as red.
Now if the thought occurred to you, "what if I scrape off all the dead skin and THEN carpet bomb it with neosporin," I recommend folding a thick piece of leather between your teeth before proceeding.

Hit your arm with a hatchet. Too bad you didn't learn first aid. Otherwise you'd go get a retard check. How do you hit your arm with a hatchet? Not only didn't you learn first aid, you can't stitch either.

Do people really go to the hospital for cuts like this? I get shit like this pretty regularly because I work with tools a lot and get rather careless, and I would never go to the hospital for a flesh wound like that. Only if there was substantial bloodloss, or if I felt muscle or ligaments had been severed or were at stake.
Ya'll are a bunch of faggots. Literally just disinfect and wrap that. Maybe stitch, but honestly stitches are usually kind of worthless, all they really accomplish is avoid scarring.

>>524172755
interesting. I will track its development and if the redness hasn't subsided by a couple more days or gets bigger I will go get real antibiotics
>>
>>524172848
Relax mate, he's suffered some blood loss
>>
>>524165384
you should have stitched it you retard now you risk infection gangrene and loss of limb
and yes you absolutely can stitch yourself you dont need to go to hospital if you get a cut but you need to do it not just leave the wound flapping around like that

>hydrogen peroxide
Why? Hydrogen peroxide, of which I'm a big fan, is terrible for wound-healing. It will dissolve all the new cells, so that you're back to square one.

Makes great backyard rocket fuel tho

There's a good chance you severed some nerves and some of your sensations may be a result of that. I cut the tip off one of my fingers and just stuck it back on with a band aid. The skin reattached itself, but the nerves didn't. I don't remember if it itched, but it was numb for years.

I'd get some castor oil for that if I were you.
It's not expensive, and it's good for a lot of things.

so you consulted a professional

and yeah youre only supposed to use peroxide initially, after that it slows healing. just slap some neosporin on that baby and change the bandages
