Yesterday I cut my finger with a bread knife and ended up having to go to A&E. The nurse sealed it with that medical glue stuff and closed it up with steristrips. She then put a thick pad on it and wrapped it up with a bandage and a stretchy sticky fabric bandage to keep the other bandage on. She said it should be safe to remove it next Saturday.

It's quite frankly driving me mad right now. It doesn't hurt but my skin is all irritated where the sticky stuff is in contact with my skin (I've had similar problems with medical tape too). I really want to take the damn thing off and let it air out for a while, but I'm pretty scared to as the cut was deep and it was bleeding very profusely, the last thing I want to do is end up getting it infected. I have a first aid kit with me that's full of all the stuff I need.

What do you suggest? That I just deal with it until it's ready to come off or that I try to change the bandage?

Thanks!

Sometimes it's too loud or not loud enough. I've started limiting it and listen on low but wondered what else could effect how loud it seems to me

Why does bruising seem to spread from the original site of injury? I had brain surgery 2 years ago and ended up with bruising right down my cheeks. Last week I had a bunion removed (and toe broken to reset I think), but the bruising extends all the way back to my heel. Why does this happen?

My left knee on the right side is KILLING me!! i just got over
tendonitis and i'm wondering if i should wear a brace again.
i am in taekwondo and i have practice tomorrow night and im going no matter what i just didnt know if a brace would relieve this pain. it hurts when i walk and jumping but how bad it hurts varies. Right now its in an ACE bandage but its not helping. oh and my brace for tendonitis was just like a strap for below the knee so should i get a full knee brace for all my knee?
thank you! =]]]

It's muscular, not skeletal. I already iced it. I can barely bend. I don't have any muscle relaxers. Would drinking rum help? Oh, man, I don't have anything to use as a mixer. I am home alone. Should I alternate heat with cold?
Mostly I'm asking if the rum would help loosen my back up.

Last night i was making cookies and when they were in the oven i sat down and i got a really bad head ache. It was about 8:00. Then I started getting really hot then really cold and my head ache got worse, that went on for about and hour. My head still hurt a lot, but onlywhen I moved it. I finally went to bed and forgot about the head ache but i felt like i was going to throw up. What happened? Something similar to this happened when i was little but it was in the summer and it wasn't as bad. HELP!!! please f.y.i i'm 13 years old.

This is a stupid question. But i want to know how to break my wrist via trampoline. can i have someone stand on it and it will break. Please just answer there is a reason behind it all. The easiest would be if someone stood on my wrist, but will that for sure break it. my wrist are really small for my body. I can put my pinky and thumb around my wrist and they touch.

my cousin broke or fractured her wrist i dont know which one. I already asked this question but i want to rephrase it. We where playing on the trampoline. She kicked my brother and then my brother pinned her down. He used his knee to keep one hand down. Then i guess he put all his weight on her wrist and it broken or was fractured. Do you think it is possible for a 5'11 200lb. boy to break a 5'9 150lb. girls wrist that way?

We where playing on my trampoline two weekends ago and my cousin broke or fractured her wrist. She said that my brother had his knee on her wrist. She is about 150 and 5'9 and he is 5'11 and 200 what do you think. Do you think that putting all the weight on one wrist will hurt break or fracture it?

there is this think layer of yellow substance (it is like another layer of skin) on top of my wound. i try to tear it, but it seems to be glued to my wound/flesh beneath. and i noticed some big red pore-like pimples in some areas where the yellow substance has flaked off. it has been 2 weeks and no noticeable changes. i try duoderm gel on it, and the gel oftens turns yellow at the end of the day, seems like it is able to absorb it. but the thick yellow layer is still there. what is this thing forming on my wound? do i have to remove it somehow as it seems like stopping my wound from healing.
