i just got a big cut on my arm and now its starting to feel warm. what does that mean ??

Question

its feeling warm and itchy..and the cut's about 6 inches long...2 centimeters deep..

Answer 1

Cuts sometimes feel itchy when they are healing. Try not to pick at it and it should heal in its own. If you are worried about why it feels warm apply some peroxide and leave it alone.

If you notice red lines going from it like a sun it could be infected and you should call your doctor.

Answer 3

The feeling of warmth could simply be your body's immune response...meaning the body is sending your "infection fighting cells" that way to help fight off a potential infection. You do need to be concerned about infection though. In addition to warmth, look for redness, swelling, yellow/green pus draining from the area.

By the way w/ the length and depth of the cut, it sounds like it may need suturing. I would see a doctor if i were you.

Answer 4

I am not a doctor or anything but u might need to get it stitch or clean. Cause my brother got cut by a blade and it was bleeding non stop so we took him to the hospital to get it stitch and clean.

Answer 5

That is very deep. If you are telling the truth, you should go the emergency room. You probably need sutures.
