How long does a puncture wound in the foot take to heal?!


Question: How long does a puncture wound in the foot take to heal.?
ive got alot of walking to do tomorrow even though the doctor took a sewing needle out of my foot yesterday night. Will my wound have scabbed over by tomorrow at 7.? Or should i anticipate alot of pain.?Health Question & Answer


Answers:
Over-the-counter pain relievers such as aspirin, naproxen, and ibuprofen will help ease the pain and reduce swelling. An ice pack or cold compress applied to the area will help reduce swelling and discomfort. clean wound and add neosporin then apply a band aid to keep from getting infected.
Will it have scabbed over by tomorrow at 7, No, not if you treat it properly, prevent the infection for that will cause you pain and swelling.
When your ready for bed clean again apply the neosporine lightly with no band aid and the scab will form in the commin days,
PREVENT INFECTIONS AND YOULL BE JUST FINE. GOOD LUCK!Health Question & Answer

The good news is you went to the doctor, the bad news, no you won't have scabbed over, and even if you had that wouldn't prevent the pain that you will experience walking. Go buy yourself a blister kit and apply one of the blister pads over your wound. Please make sure you have a band aid over the open wound with some neosporin or other triple antibiotic ointment first. The worst thing about puncture wounds is the risk of infection.Health Question & Answer
