I recently cut my wrist...wednesday...during my shower...I was just messing around like a cutter and It cut me...Stupid to do I Know. But I have been experiencing tingling sensations in arm...off and on. The cut it self is over my vein. It isnt very deep im not sure if it got the vein or not. It was VERY red around the cut for the first evening. The next day it looked better. I was in the E.R with my mom....(she was the one in there not me) and i asked the doc about it he said it seemed ok...didnt look infected. but the cut is really red. Its about an inch long going horizontal across. not very deep tho. I have been puting anti bacterial ointment on it and have been cleaning it...but the tingling has stayed...It bled pretty decently after but cotted after about 3min or so. Should I see doc or sumthing? it isnt pain full...Any ideas?

I'm not even going to try to figure out what you were doing with a blade in the shower. Usually the only people who do that are the ones who are trying to kill themselves.
Regardless.....here's my answer:
You need to see a doctor!! If you were at the ER the other day you should've had a doctor look at the cut. You said you asked your mom's doctor to look at it and they said it looked ok, well, obviously it's not ok. The doctor may not have taken you seriously since you were not his or her patient. You need to see your own doctor as soon as possible.
Putting antibacterial ointment is fine. That's what I do when I get cuts and scrapes. I'm not really concerned about the puffyness. I've gotten that when I've had cuts before. Red and puffy. That's normal. It's the tingling I'm concerned about. Although it could be from a number of things, like you playing with the cut area, it could also be an injury to the vein itself. But no one can tell you exactly what's going on, that's for your doctor to tell you.
Next time, don't play with sharp objects in the shower.

Most of the time, a cut on the wrist can take some days to heal because it is an area that is prone to pressures..afterall, we use our hands in doing many things. The redness is still quite normal for any cuts. But still, I will ask you to go see a doctor just to make sure. Goodluck!

You should do it several more times and write bad poetry, then take pictures and post them on MySpace. Go!
