My cut is "healed" but not "healed" HELP!?

Question

I have a cut on my right index finger that has closed up but for the past 2 months it has remained red and sore. I had it stitched at the hospital and a week ago my doc looked at me and told me that it was puffy because there is scar tissue. This is from 1 single friggen cut. it's like 2 cm long.
Anyway.. he says for me to give it one more month for healing but it's been 2 months and I am in pain when it get touched accidently. it's really red and its bothering me. Am I going to get sepsis? Should I go back to my doc and demand he do something? Should I get a 2nd opinion? I don't want my finger to become infected and fall off... bah. I hate being sick.

Answer 1

Are you able to pick your nose with it? Yes? Then don't worry about it.

Answer 2

Go see a different doctor. There may be some small thing lodged in there (did you cut yourself on glass?)

A month is too long - it shouldn't hurt so much.

They may need to re-open the wound so it can drain and heal properly - but you'll need to see a doctor!!!

Best of luck

Answer 3

if it were infected, the scar tissue would be pea green not red! the pea green color states infection and it needs to be lanced (not in Armstrong, but have doc make a small sliver of a cut and gently push the infected pus out of the sliver of a cut)

Answer 4

It sounds like it's infected, or maybe there is some foreign matter in the cut. I'd definitely go back to the doctor, or get a second opinion.
