I have a cut from a razor that is swollen red a little achy and was dried out til I was told to keep antibiotic ointment on it. Is the issue that I didnt put cream for 2 days or its prolly infected ? I kept it clean and had my husband bandage it, but he didnt want to clean it initially and is a safety manager, go figure, which I think may have caused it to become infected to begin with the cut was from a razor that sliced a good chunk of skin across my finger.
Hello, Welcome to Chat Doctor, As you got injured with the razor on your finger which has led to bleeding from that site. Whenever there is an injury that area will show all signs of inflammation. The signs of inflammation include pain, redness, swelling and redness around the affected area. Whenever there is an injury you need to follow1. Clean the wound with antiseptic. 2. If in TT is not taken in last five years, take a shot of TT injection. 3. Topical antibiotic cream like TB act.4. Oral antibiotic like Tab Augmenting, twice daily for 5 days. Thank you.
