Twisted Ankle, Wound On Palm After Falling. Skin Around Wound Turned White. Solution?
Hi, I fell today because i twisted my ankle and although it s a little soar I can still walk on it and it has no visible bruises on it. When I hit the ground, my palm of my hand got a deep wound and now the skin around the wound is turning white. What should I do? I would prefer it if you can give me advice that wouldn t need me to seek medical attention outside my home.
