ndmmxiaomayi SG I fell near the road today and got myself some cuts. Attempts to stop bleeding failed. When I thought the bleeding had stopped, five minutes later it is bleeding again. I noticed something white (like a string, but much more shorter and refused to break when I pulled it) coming out from that cut. The next bruise, got a hole in it. Like you drilled a hole to put a nail into it, but mine isn't that deep until can put a nail. The flesh around the cut is white, like after someone peeled a hard boiled egg. The last cut, isn't that serious, but there is one straight line which the dirt collects. That straight line is pretty deep, I tried cleaning it but it's still dirty. Any ways to clean it? Last question: need to see a doctor for my case? I've just plastered the hole up, to prevent infections.
thinkdifferent SG Ofcourse you have to see the doc! Have you been vaccinated against tetanus? There are special disinfection solutions for wounds, some people use alcohol. You must see a doc, he/she can clean your wounds properly, sew them up and give you the tetanus shot when needed. From you description the cuts seem to be serious, please visit the doc as soon as possible.
ndmmxiaomayi SG I have no idea if I am vaccinated against tetanus. I have my head stitched up before, but don't know the doctor got me any shot for tetanus. Guess have to wait till tomorrow. My parents asleep liao. I also don't want to bother them now. They have to work tomorrow.
hisoka SG please do not pull on the white thing might be a tendon or ligament. dunno important or not. i suggest you go and see doctor soon i think might need stitches. actually if can go now bah. may not be serious but you never know. dun play with this type of thing
ndmmxiaomayi SG I have no idea that they are tendons or ligaments... never see before.... Will go tomorrow. Now no money.... parents asleep, and they have to work tomorrow. So I temporarily plastered the wounds up.
hisoka SG basically they either attach bone to bone or bone to muscle. actually why not take taxi and go yourself bah. if not then sleep early and go early in the morning if really must do that........
ndmmxiaomayi SG Near my home got 24-hour clinic. But they charge damn expensive at this time, and some more I don't have enough money. Plus this minor surgery... don't know how much to cough up this time. Dead liao... school reopening soon... if don't heal by that time, wonder how to go to school. Will go see doctor in the morning.
hisoka SG dun worry lah if cuts alone nothign much one wont miss skool. if got infection or what not might be different story though. pple break arm breka leg also can go skool no problem one lah. btw why you so careless?? take care kz?
ndmmxiaomayi SG Didn't see a rock in front me. Hit and fell despite wearing long pants. Last time I stitched my head I never go school for god knows how many days. Because it is too painful, plus need to apply medication on the head, so cannot go school. If this one need stitches also, definitely have to take MC liao. I cannot tahan pain after a certain level is reached.
hisoka SG head and limb different lah. but might be inconvenient to go around though.... lucky you didn't fall from a great height though haha. has the bleeding stopped?? if alot fo blood or dun stop after relaly long time dun delay le hor.
ndmmxiaomayi SG I plastered it, and seems to be much more better liao. At least, blood isn't trickering down like just now before I put plasters. Don't know how long this plaster will last, it's too deep. That one is lucky. If fall from great height, got more than this. Probably in a hospital now rather than sitting here and wait for day to break. If it becomes worse, I will call my parents up, no matter what. And let them see the hole. If not, they will think it's nothing. I go koon liao. See the doctor first thing in the morning.
ndmmxiaomayi SG Yes. As I written here, it's deep cuts. Some medication has been given for me to apply.
alwaysdisturbed SG tendon - muscle to bone ligament - bone to bone if u can really c dem...i dun tink u can b at hm.. u c the white flesh is juz bcoz ur skin was badly abraded. if i'm nt wrong it looked white initially...after a while u c blood seeping out like pores on ur skin....den soon the whole part is covered wif blood... dun worry much...juz wash it n keep it clean.... cover it when u out...air it when u r hm...if u cover it up all day long...it gets really wet n sticky...takes a longer time to heal...
ndmmxiaomayi SG Not too serious to warrant a hospital stay. Hmm, that white part has no blood coming out from it, rather its the hole that is blood keeps flowing out. That white part, I can't feel anything. Even when pressure is applied. No more bleeding already, only that it is infected now. And I didn't realize till I opened up the dressing... Now on antibiotics. Feeling very fine though. No idea why. Maybe my immune system isn't coming down yet.
SBS9828X SG did u try cutting those white strings? So strong sia... new material to make for bungee jumping
ndmmxiaomayi SG Huh? Cutting them? I don't dare. The more I pulled, the more blood it seems to produce. So I reckon if I cut it, lagi worse.
SBS9828X SG i thing i got pull also b4... but is on my thumb wer its just beside my nail... although painful, i get adddicted to doing it
