Title says it all gore wise... it went in maybe 1-2mm, pulled it out, bled it (squeezed it to push out anything that was in) cleaned it.. and left it for a while... went back about 2 hours later to put some antibacterial hand sanitiser (desderman gel).
literally got a sharp pointy knife and poked it around pulling anything I could, whilst pouring more sanitiser into the wound... I've gone through about 8-10 plasters keep changing them.. the first 3 plasters were dark blood, then yellow (plasma?) and then a small dot of yellow.. and I keep changing it every 3 hours (no idea why) and I put more sanitiser on and plaster it up...
it looks clean.. and from what I can see... it looks like its already closed up... bar the puncture area...
my concern is... and I've spoke to nhs 111, I'm scared shitless of septicemia... my biggest anxiety... I've been re-assured that its highly unlikely I'll get tetanus because I'm still within the 10 year period (last jab was 2007)...
anxiety was bad this afternoon... chest pains.. pains down my arm... I'm aching like a **** :( some how got it into my head that this has hit a bone and I'm aching because its given me an infection.....
theres little to no swelling and theres some mild redness around the wound... (the size of a 5p peace the redness is)
any ideas?
someone reassure me, for the sake of my anxiety :(
cheers
