1 day old cut on my hand is it infected??

Question

ok tripped on some metle wire yesterday and cut my hand pretty bad, it bled alot for the size of the cut and there like deep slices as well .

i washed it but not that well to be honest cos i cant stand stuff like that. around the cut is like a bruse kinda thing.

i put a dressing thing on it over night, took it off in the morning (still really really hurts). then i put a quick heal plaster on it 5 mins later its like ooozing a pale milky white stuff (ewwww)

do u think its infected?? what do you think i should do?? or not do??

any help wud be great thanks =) x*x

Answer 1

YES its infected.... you also need a tetnus, nothing to fool with. If you get tetnus infection you get a condition call lock jaw, very very painful.

Personal experience, plus im a Medical Assistant at an urgent care.
