Hi all...just wondering if there is anything else I can do for some infected cuts.Im sure that they are infected as they are really red around them and they have a greenish whitish centers.Ive been putting on an antibiotic ointment for days/and cleaning them and they are not improving.
I went two months no cutting then I lost it.....what a disapointment....dont want to go to gp. Any suggestions? |

I'm sorry for your disappointment. I think antibiotics are your only choice if it hasn't cleared up over a few days. Better oral antibiotics from your GP than IV antibiotics in the hospital from if you leave it too long. Take care.

I hate to say it... but if they arn't improving you really should go see someone about it before it gets worse.
Good luck (((((((((((hugs))))))))))))

<font color="#000088">If it's too late for Hydrogen Peroxide to kill the bacteria inside the infected area, and the anti-biotic ointment isn't working! Then I agree with the others on this, you'll need a Doctors care, before it becomes gangrene!(if I even spelled that right)But it could get really serious if it gets to that stage!
I think you really should just go to your Doctor! It's the best thing for you to do!     </font>

If the cuts are in a spot where you can soak them - you can use Espom Salts and water as warm as you can stand it.

Best thing to do is clean the cuts...antibiotic cream is good, and so is peroxide. It's a good thing you're going to the doctors, I had a cut on my leg once (not from self mutilation) but from shaving, and it got so infected that I couldn't walk and had to go to the hospital.
Good luck. |
