Seeking Opinion On Injury Is this infected? NSFW

Post image
1 Upvotes

Got a burn from a curling iron that fell on my knee for a few seconds. I don’t think it’s infected but my mom scared me into seeking advice :)
It’s not warm to the touch and in the picture I have some neosporin on it so it’s glistening.
Before scabbing it was oozing something, not sure what. I’m mainly concerned about the color as it does hurt to touch and move like if I’m walking or bending my legs. Thanks!

Seeking Opinion On Injury I used ethyl alcohol to cure a wound, and I ended up breathing in the fumes, I have to take my medication later (seroquel 200mg) is it safe to take my medication? NSFW

0 Upvotes

I used about 60ML of 70⁰ ethyl alcohol to cure a wound for about 35 minutes in an non ventilated area

So I ended up exposing myself to the fumes of the alcohol, right now I feel mostly normal just a bit lightheaded

I have to take my medication (seroquel 200mg) in a few hours, is it safe to still take my medication regarding these conditions?

Discussion Student researching bystander first aid: what do people get wrong before you arrive?

6 Upvotes

I'm a grad student looking into how bystanders handle emergencies while waiting for EMS. I'm not selling anything, and this is early research.

For those of you who respond to calls: what do bystanders most often do wrong or forget in the first five minutes? And is there anything you'd never want an app to guide a panicked person through?

Stories and blunt opinions are welcome. I'm trying to learn what's actually dangerous before building anything.

So its a burn I got at work from a steaming hot puddle of glue, so i was doing a repair on this flange at work(wooden reel) and we have to fill any cracks or holes with hot glue using a glue gun and I accidentally dipped my finger into one of the holes i just filled as i was going to tape over the glue. Anyways would it be safe to poke this with a needle and drain the fluid? Ive been applying antibiotic ointment to it and bandaging it when i go to work and leaving it un bandaged when im home but its realllly bugging me just having this bubble on my fingy

我的手指受伤了,这种小伤,我认为最多就用水冲洗一下就好了,但是朋友告诉我,因为我是被生锈的东西割破,你的建议我拿碘伏消毒,然后再去医院问一下医生的意见,我认为是不是小题大做了。

Seeking Opinion On Injury Cat scratch near eye NSFW

2 Upvotes

Can I just rinse this with saline? There is a small skin flap and a little pocketing. My cat got spooked when picking him up and snagged under my eye. I’m worried this might need extra care but don’t want to overreact. It took about 10 min to get the bleeding to stop.

EDIT: I went to walk in clinic and got it flushed out and some antibiotics! They also trimmed a little bit of skin that was hanging off. Thanks for all the advice :)

Idk this is the right sub or not but please advice if you can

Yesterday at 8.30pm i got a bite from a dog in locality the dog was mad and aggressive he was butting everyone there when he bite i his grip was not very tight (according to me ) and I was wearing loose pajama see hee ended up with my pajama only. When I saw my skin there was no marks of wound or or any visual evidence but still I went to a local general clinic he also saw my leg with his torch and said that there is no requirement of Rabies injection and he gave me tetnus injection and but for my assurance I also went into a decent government hospital near my home ig the doctor was new or she was trainee idk tbh she told me to show my and then she asked about there was bleeding or not after the bite she avoided doing any other thing like examining the leg with atleast torch. ( But idk why I am getting second thought shall I go for another hospital for check up again or not ?

I also done sanitizer test in my leg there was no burning sensation or sting sensation (I also forget to tell her that the dog was mad and stray and ig she forget to ask from me )

About a week ago my fiancee showed me a little white spot on her foot. Since then it has become inflamed and it has developed a pink tinge around it and it has become tender. I am concerned as well because she is now in pain because of it and I’m fearful of infection. Anyone have any ideas on what it is? Pictured above.
