I had earlier in the morning open a can of fruit syrup with a canopener. Accidentally, my thumb was in the way and was slightly cut by the open tin can. The wound is small with no bleeding. But I can feel smarting pain. The can is clean,no rust on it and the can opener is new. The tin can of the fruit syrup is new, just bought from the supermarket. Therefore, I do not think tetanus is the general worry. I administer Burnol antiseptic cream on it and plaster it after washing the cut wound. The thumb still has a smarting pain. After 4 hours later, I decide to use Fucidin on the cut wound. Then the smarting pain was gone!!! I did not plaster the cutwound because I want the skin- tissue to breathe. Fucidin has helped me alot and will continue this treatment by applying 3 times a day. My question is---- can Fucidin be used on open cutwound even though the cutwound is not caused by gram-positive bacterial organisms like staphylococci,folliculitis,boils,impetigo, etc????? Thanks!!!!!!
