Does this look infected to you?

WTF doctors. They send me home with a bandage and say "take it off tomorrow". I wait 24 hours, take it off, and low and behold I have a gaping fucking hole in my arm.

Yay for the ER!

I'm going across town to a different hospital now to see what they tell me hahahah.

it hurts

Yeah that's a lighter in the background. The length of the hole is about 1/3 lighter length and width is about "bottom of the lighter".

Shit.

some doctors are a joke my doctor told me it was fine to go skiing after i was involved in a car crash and had whiplash and to take a pain killer

Pic is a little blurred to tell. But then again I am no doc.

Looks like a major puss ball is forming. that will be a nice scab

What in the hell? How did you get that thing in the first place? Is it a stab wound? Pic quality isn't great but it actually doesn't look infected to me. Just disgusting and in need of some stitching.

 

[erect]

put some butter on it

 

[Fatbat]

Not infected. Could use about 5 stitches I think. How did that happen?

You know what works really well in this situation? Crazy glue.. try it.

Yea it's not infected, yet, but I'd go see your doc and get him to stitch it up.

Just spend the cash and get the flesh light.

put some butter on it

Reminds me of the movie "My big fat Greek wedding" where Windex cures everything. Spray some Windex on it.

Just keep it clean and apply new bandages.

 

[jenzkc]

that's fat, not pus. definitely needs a few stitches...

 

[amateursurgeon]

Probably not. Go and rub it on a friendly mexican just to be sure.

1/2 teaspoon of salt mixed with 3 oz. lemon juice will kill off any infection from there.

No it's not infected, looks like one healthy parasite.

Use your office stapler to staple it together.

Lol, I went to hospital #2 and they were really pissed that hospital #1 just left it like that.

I had a splinter or something that healed over and turned into an abscess.

abscess = infection, if you're not aware

Use your office stapler to staple it together.

Actually, that works really well. Just make sure to run a lighter over the staples first so they're sterile. The skin will reject the staples when it's healed enough.

Another alternative, and this is going to sound weird, is to disinfect with medicinal alcohol, and then superglue it together. Superglue was actually originally intended for use as a quick field dressing during the Korean war.... Or maybe it was Nam. One of the anti-commie wars anyway.
That's why it manages to bond your fingers together so fucking fast, but takes an hour to set your chair leg in place.
