Hi,I am Dr. Shanthi.E (General & Family Physician). I will be looking into your question and guiding you through the process. Please write your question below.
I pulled the skin off of my thumb instead of flipping it. I thought it would heal up right away but instead just turned bright red, develop cuts that ooze, and the skin hasn t been growing back. It s very sore. I ve tried Neosporin liquid bandage now I ve been soaking it in hot, soapy water. You think it s serious or will it heal on it s own. Any suggestions or recommendations? Any idea what it is that I m dealing with? Thanks so kindly, Ruth
Hello, Sir Welcome to healthcaremagic. I can certainly understand your concern. I have worked through your query in detail.
It might be resulted in some infection because of pulling it forcefully, it is good that you have already applied neosporin , so try with the course of oral antibiotics like amoxycillin for 5 days which helps in clear of infection if any
hope this information would help you Post your further queries if any. Thank you
