I live in Ontario Canada. I was sitting in my living room three days ago (Thursday) and felt something crawl up my hand. I had my hand underneath a laptray working on my laptop pc. Before I got my hand out from under the tray something stung me (thumb). I thought it was a bee (it is winter here). A luggage bag had been brought up from the basement earlier in the day. It was so painful and sharp I was sure it was a hornet of some kind. I could not find one. We took the couch apart...lifted it up...vacummed the entire thing...swept the hardwood and the curtains and never found the supposed 'bee' culprit. I had a dot looking like a bee sting, surrounded by a white elevated ring, surrounded by redness. This subsided by the next day...completely. Then Sat night the area became hot and red and looked as if I was just bitten or stung again. The white edges are now gone(Monday) but the dot came up to a blister and opened. It is still has erythema around it and a hard area around it.

I'm having surgery on my foot in February. I've never had stitches before and wanted to know if it hurts to have them removed?

My skin reacts to every bandaid I've tried (and I've tried all the kinds at the pharmacy and grocery store). It gets red and inflamed and sore...much worse than the cuts I use them to cover. The same applies for medical tapes. Does anyone have any ideas for how I can keep a wound moist and clean with a different covering? No covering at all causes the ointment to wear off and/or gets things stuck in it...not very sanitary. New skin works sometimes, but isnt' always workable. Thanks!

when i cut myself and it's healed, i like to put a bandage on it because it still hurts and i don't want to break it open again.
my dad tells me not to do that because the air should get at it. but i tell him that there's germs swimming in the air and i don't want to break the scape.
who's right?

I overflowed my bathroom toilet this morning and in a panic, I accidentally got the cotton under my splint dripping wet with urine-water. I'm sure this couldn't be good for a healing incision, so I immediately ran out and bought some rolled cotton and gauze and took the splint off. My question is, how should I clean the area and should I apply any kind of ointment or iodine before I rewrap it? I broke my thumb (1st metacarpal) and had to have surgery 9 days ago (last Friday) to have pins inserted. There are 6 thin, tape-like strip bandages covering the stitches.

Hi, All! My left index finger has gone goofy on me over the past several days. It's along one side of the tip of the finger and behind the nail. I have a good bit of redness and swelling and it's REALLY sore. I haven't injured it or anything...

Is this an ingrown nail? Regardless of WHAT it is, anyone have a remedy? I play bass guitar and have HOURS of practice ahead of me for an upcoming show!!!

Help MUCH appreciated! THANKS!
