a question? dont know if it triggers

is it normal that after u cut that the cut site swells up? After i cut with my scissors the site turns white and swells up and makes one big bump per cut. this has happened before but i switched scissors and the new ones didnt do it till now!!

you mean immediately after or later on?

And is there any puss?

im not sure, but please take care of yourself if you think you got an infection!

hey hun, that kind of sounds like an infection, if the tool you are using isn't clean that's what happens.

immediently then in a hour or two it goes away

Have you got sensitive skin?

Because i know that if i even just like scratch an itchy bit on me it can go all lumpy and red and stay for AGES.

Usually when i cut the area stays swollen for like a day. So it could just be the way your skin is?

Black, scissors are my primary cutting 'tool', and mine does the same thing everything... Not even 5 seconds after cutting, it swells up around it. It's not that it's infected, it's the fact that your skin has just been traumatized and your skin naturally swells when it's wounded. Scissors usually take a bit more effort and time to cut the skin open, so you're repeatedly slashing across the same spot unstead of just a slash and it's an open wound like with a razor blade. That's why the scissors leave a swelling effect. I'd only be concerned with infection if the swelling last more than 2 days, by then the swelling should be gone and it should just be a wound healing. I'm not encouraging you to cut, but please, everytime you get the urge and give in to that urge, make sure you put fire (from a lighter, etc) to the scissors for a few seconds to sanatize it, because that will lead to infection if you don't.
