Question: I have a cut on my thumb. maybe an inch long. deep enough that it bled for 24 hrs, but shallow enough that.?
it did not bleed continuously

there is something in it, but i cannot get it out without increasing the cut's size and causing it to bleed worse. it is not something big, but i think it is dirt. I am worried about infection.

Do you think it is worth getting out or should I leave it there.?Health Question & Answer


Answers:
try flushing it with water, or using a sterilized pin to pry out the debris. I'd also maybe soak it in warm salt water.Health Question & Answer
