Yesterday, a friend was at my house and she accidently scratched my middle finger with her nail. It started bleeding, but I just bandaged it up. After she left, I properly cleaned the cut and put triple antibiodic cream on it and went to bed. When I woke up, the edges of the small cut had turned pinkish red, and the center of it had turned dark red. I just put more triple antibiodic cream on, what is a good way to make it go away? It doesn't hurt, just looks ugly.

Otherworld, I have seen an infected cut, and it does not look like this. When I talk about the pink and red, this is how all little scrapes foro me work out, and when I asked the doctor, he said that was just how my body heals.

Try a liquid band-aid called NuSkin
It smells funny, but it works!

You should see a doctor about this cut as it is infected.
Try taking a small (1/4 tea spoon full of bleach and stir in a small amount of luke warm water. soak your finge rin uit. prick it with a pin first sand squeeze it good in the water . this helps the disinfectant to get to the cuts underside.
soak in alcohol after that about every hour. it should clear up.
if the red lines don't go away fast see a doctor as it is infected.

two ways first: since paper cuts are deep, you have to apply band-aid so that the cut and the band-aid forms a + sign. second: this is bitter...i mean mix turmeric in 1 cup warm milk and drink it. This is in ayurveda.this helps in speeding the healing process

You're doing the right thing--keep it clean and be patient--it will go away in a day or two.
