Should I go to the doctor?

a guy I know is a mechanic. cut himself on greasy metal. nothing even worth stitches.

lost his arm due to a bad infection.

so yeah OP, you need to see a doctor. that amount of swelling only indicates infection. and an infection can get bad, quick.

be proactive, I'm assuming you could really use that hand.

treat with hydrogen peroxide, rubbing alcohol, and take the time to bandage it. Bacteria is festering/growing inside of your wound. You'll want to reform the scab after you sterilize what is there with hydrogen peroxide and rubbing alcohol.
After you sterilize, you'll want to seal with that cream you have or preferably a petroleum gel based anti-septic salve. Then bandage it to the best of your abilities. Change the bandage.

This is what a doctor would do (if it hasn't gone completely septic, which it doesn't look like it has yet). If it gets worse and worse, you'd have to get antibiotics and some of your wrist/your hand removed.

Any good ole booze will do.

I had a corpsman pour good ole jim beam in my arm after I caught shrapnel. Didn't get infected. The only reason rubbing alcohol is undrinkable is because that's how they make it, and also why it's so cheap. They denature it to deter people from drinking it and making it saleable to anyone.

Just pour some vodka or other clear ish alcoholic drank over your cut and wash with soap and water. Let it dry, apply cream, cover.

it'll work, just take a swig before you apply it. The properties of alcohol is that it will kill most microorganisms including the infecting bacteria.

That's how the corpsman explained it to me. I had bourbon save my arm, just rinse it well so it doesn't get sticky. It will hurt like hell, but that's half the fun.

You use antiseptics on a cut when it is fresh, not when it is already infected.

Suggesting antiseptics to treat a wound that is likely infected and that you haven't examined is beyond clueless.

Congrats on taking a stupid, unnecessary risk. Luckily for the rest of people, Medicine doesn't work like that.
>>
>>714965565
Have decent medical knowledge it looks like you ruptured a portion of the artery that flows through that part of your wrist there are two main ones find the ball of your wrist palm down feel the little crevice in front of that main ball bone on your wrist. Also the second artery is where your cut is where nurses usually feel for your pulse. Go see a doctor seek treatment immediately cause if you ruptured an artery it's either edema and or a build up of blood and immfamation and you run the risk of cell death ( look for purple or dark portions on fingers or near the injury numbness is also a bad sign. Also if it is painful you either need to get the blood drained and the wound cleaned and after doing that they may need to in patch the artery because you don't wanna fuck with proper blood flow of risk throwing a clot. Hell if your really unlucky you'll get an embolism usually not too dangerous but if your body throws a fat embolism or it moves through an artery to your brain or lungs it can cause stroke or death. So basically go seek treatment if not now tomorrow as soon as you can.

>>714967796
Apparently a microbiologist shouldn't give medical advice those two recommendations are stupid first DO NOT use hydrogen peroxide OR high proof isopropyl alcohol because his wound is directly on one of two main arteries that to flow from your arm and wrist to your heart and back. If you put ether of those corrosive substances on a wound that seems infected and if not infected it seems as if he punctured the artery underneath and has internal edema aka bleeding and immflamation. He needs to have it drained sterilized and the artery may even need to be sutured. Go seek treatment unless you want the infection to spread causing multi level cell death as well as most likely eventual amputation. If you really lucky you'll only get severely ill for two to three weeks.
>>
What kind of aholes are you? If this killed him how would we survive as a species before antibiotics? This type of behavior is exactly why antibiotics are not effective no more...

Your body will do the rest...
>>
>>714970045
It fights the first stages of infection, not the latter ones. You became infected almost immediately after cutting yourself, and the wound closed up just as quickly. You can't fight the infection with antiseptic anymore, as it now as no way of reaching the infection under your skin.

The swelling is due to bacterial growth and white blood cell death occurring within the cut aka pus. Seeing as the cut has already sealed shut, you'll have to reopen it and drain the pus then rinse it out with hydrogen peroxide or rubbing alcohol, or as anon suggested, plain old liquor to help wash out the bacteria. Then you can apply the antiseptic cream to slow down or stop the bacterial growth, and bandage it up it afterwards. You can't let these infections get out of control or you'll risk the chance of it going sepsis and then going into septic shock.

Unless you get the scab off that is currently on most of the infected tissue. There is dead tissue under that scab that is feeding a growth of bacteria. The rest of the bacteria "inside of the wound" is actually just swelling from the immune response of the infected scab.

Peal off the scab, it will hurt like a bitch, sterilize the fuck out of it, the keep it covered and a clean bandage on it with re-application of antiseptic cream. You'll probably be fine.
If it doesn't get better after such things, THEN you can go to the doctor.

>>714970063
If you notice I give that as one of four possibilities it's also highly likely that he has an infection. I don't care when it happened you've never heard of an artery becoming infected causing blood and pus to build up underneath the skin? I don't see you providing better information in fact you seem to only criticize me while not giving any better information. I honestly couldn't know exactly what it is without being able to examine him in person so I'm just telling him what it could be.>>714970673

First off a wound doesn't need be deep to damage an artery tard. Believe it or not people can have internal bleeding from no cuts at all in having force exerted with enough force on a small area it transfers that energy and causes internal damage you'll understand when you take physics your sophomore or junior year actually in seeing how stupid you are I.e >alcohol is not corrosive
It'll probably be your senior year of COLLEGE cause your obviously a retard. Not like actually autistic your just so stupid your "special" Here's a quote from https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC3117956/. " the metabolism of alcohol which also occurs during simple topicle administration causes the production of acetaldehyde and reactive oxygen species as well as moieties that damage not only healthy tissues but normal biological functions which not only inhibit proper cell function but slow healing and normal cell growth instead of promote it" so while it may be antibacterial it also damages our cells as well as damaging the cell walls of bacteria hmm kind of obvious right

Liquor with high amounts of ethanol does kill bacteria and slow the growth, as well as damage and kill normal human cells. However our mouths, esophagus, and stomach are coated with a film that is impermeable for the most part as well as stomach acid which takes care of the liquor. When someone constantly drinks liquor there is the possibility of causing ulcers and other complications within their body.

Are you really that stupid I was pointing out that internal bleeding aka bleeding underneath the skin (dermis epidermis etc) can happen without a cut going directly through a blood source you idiot it can happen when enough force is exerted on your body like during a car crash THESE ARE EXAMPLES but ok I'm done your obliviously too stupid to even understand that I.e is the universal signal for this is an example so again finish highschool and you may catch up otherwise shutup and let daddy talk ok pumpkin?
