What do you think of my cut?

A.T. Hagan :

I think you may get to experience the joys of having a finger amputated if you don't soon get it properly attended to.

or a hand...or an arm...​

Better not loose it. That's your "booger-pickin'" finger.

It's probably not funny. It isn't just a matter of amputation - a person can die from an infected cut if the infection goes into his blood ('goes septic').

Your pretty funny but your right!

my son said to make sure I tell you that lol.

I did get antibiotics last night and after one last night it is already getting better visually about a third less redness this am still sore but less and not as swollen. I also had to get a tetanus shot and now a knot where they put it and my arm is sore. I don't know when the last time I had one was.

My husband was joking with me a little baby cut but did a number on me. I told him things effect people differently and situations. I have cut myself before and been fine too but for some reason this did not go over too well. It is just a small poke hole.

I was cutting on a beef bone had been in the fridge several days it smelled bad but I was gonna give it to my saint to chew on. I was trying to cut off the extra fat and meat there was a lot on there. I did not want her to have all that. This knife I was using is flimsy but brand new. we use it to cut up chickens with and it is very very sharp. Well the tip is small and pointy and went into my finger. I immediately washed the cut and gave up after that I threw it all in the garbage but not my husbands knife.

he says he told me not to mess with his knifes.

It happened in the afternoon but when I woke up it was like the picture I posted. My finger started to be sore with in a few hours to type I noticed. I put peroxide on it and triple antibiotic with a bandage a few times too. It got that bad with in 24 hours probably more like 12 hours. I was worried more so cause I remember the meat smelling bad.

I think I am good to go now though....thank you all!

Make sure to stay on them the whole course

Cellulitis isn't a nice thing, and though it clears usually fast when you catch it soon, it can and will pop right back up again if you don't take the whole round of antibiotics. Glad you got it taken care of!!
