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 just fell over a pavement and took the biggest chunk of skin ever off my thumb. My whole arm is throbbing. There's some like sticky watery fluid coming from the wound now it's stopped bleeding as much. Could you please tell me what this is and why it hurts so much?
I went through the history and it seems you are having injury to the thumb. This requires treatment by the use of antibiotics and anti-inflammatory drugs. Applying antibiotic ointments and dressing are essential to prevent secondary infection and to help in quick healing of the wound.
Do write back to me for further questions.
Hope this is helpful yo you.
Thank you
