Medfags I need your help.

I got ranover by a car recently and this is what happened to my leg. It has been over a week and i feel like theres no real progression. It has scabbed over but I've wrapped it 3 times now and it looks worse when I wrap it.

Is this infected? I've put tons of hydrogen peroxide, Neosporin, and this spray shit that kills germs.

I need to know to seek medical attention or not for this,
>>
looks fine to me

>>677882065

It looks like some of your skin is experiencing necrosis.
>>
i thought it was common fucking sense to seek medical attention after being ran over by a car

>>677882220
No. STOP Lying.

looks like it's healing well, just make sure nothing green comes out of it

put powdered sugar on it

Get some maggots and let them eat all the dead flesh away.

it kind of looks like you have been picking at the scab, that could be the problem

>>677882065
Obviously go see a doc. It's fucked mate

its necrotic and sloughy you need to see a dr
>>
>>677882385
I haven't touched the injury with my hand at all. I put neosporin on a cotton swab to apply it.
>>
>>677882065
Eh, it should be fine. If you're a poorfag worried about infection, go to a pet store and buy some aquarium amoxicillin. For your "fish".
>>
>>677882065
That sucks but as long as you're treating it with disinfectants and washing it you should heal fine, although it might scar. Not a medfag or anything just had some similar injuries growing up

rub feces into it

feces has beneficial bacteria that will promote healing. Do not take antibiotics because you will kill those probiotics.

This. I had a little yellowish scab on my face once. Fucker nearly killed me. 2 antibiotic cycles and one tube of mupirocin to heal it up.

>>677882065

It's fine you big pussy. Stop messing with it other than to clean/neosporin. No need for peroxide, just keep it clean and give it time.

Vitamin E oil once the skin has come back together and is still pink and fresh should help with scarring. Although chicks do dig scars, so there's that.

Well lets weigh the risk op, you could not see a doctor and possibly lose your leg or you can take two hours out of your day and go see a doctor. your a grown boy you make your own decision.
>>
>>677882065
Quit using hydrogen peroxide, use it once to kill the gems then use Neosporin to keep them out. Deep cuts take time, two weeks is not uncommon.

Or go get medical attention you Fuck.

OP here.

I can't wrap it anymore. Everytime I do, the scab that develops under it, the scab sticks to the pad/gauze and just gets ripped off.
>>
>>677882964
Because doctors in other countries don't get paid, you absolute idiot.

OP, I believe I know what this is, I had this a kid on my lower arm (also after getting hit by a car lol).
This happens when you scratch your skin off enough to reach something that the doctor refered to as a "slime bag". Apparently there is such a thing and it produces that yellow liquid you see.
You will have to go see a doctor, it will not heal properly on it's own.

Op, you are dying.

Not everywhere, but at a single, concentrated area.

Your skin is dying around the wound. If it would stop there, you would be fine. However, the rot is killing skin around the wound, and poisoning your blood. If left with no aid, you will lose that leg. You need help immediately.

Go to the fucking doctor. Not going to get into too much detail, but there is a chance of a number of complications if not treated.

Hey OP, FIRST: When in doubt seek medical attention. It's impossible for me to diagnose and/or recommend a course of treatment without seeing you.

ALL that being said: You will be fine if you seek some treatment (You might even be fine without medical attention, however, your knee and leg isn't worth risking since you have asked me). I don't like the look of certain features of those wounds. I would need to see them, you etc. I will sleep better tonight knowing you've gone in to get it checked out!

Obviously you aren't really a medfag. You innitially clean with peroxide, but you don't use it when you are trying to build scar tissue and close up a wound. It'll damage new cells. Did you get your medical certificate at walmart? Any tattoo artist knows better than that. Antibiotic ointment or even salt water are better for advanced healing.
>>
try bloodletting and leeches
>>
>>677884389
take it easy and leave it open with no coverings for a few days so the scab will harden on top and not be soft. had this happen a few times and the air does it some good because under the bandages it just stays moist and open and pulls the scab off.

take a day or two and just relax at home with it uncovered and dont get it wet! gotta let it scab properly to close up!!! otherwise it does not look too bad, just a large area that needs time to heal.
>>
Since all you medfags are in this thread I have a question.

For the last ~5 years I've been very localized chest pains. Its been on the left side right around thee armpit. My doctor years ago said it was just a muscle strain, but it never went away. It comes on randomly, mostly when I'm at rest. Its an odd pressure that sometimes gets sharp for a few seconds. It last about 30 minutes.

Heres the weird part. Very recently I've been getting the same pain on the right side, in my neck, and even in my bicep once.

Am I riddled with cancer tumors or am I just overreacting to indigestion or something

Looks pretty fucking normal to me. Most of the useless fagots on here have never tried anything that they might get injured doing. That is just like road rash from falling while cycling, it takes an unexpectedly long time to heal compared to normal injuries. Had that no my leg, just exactly the same as you, on on my forearm where it heals a bit faster. So long as it doesn't start leaking anything white or yellow or smelling bad you are fine. Just don't pick at it and try not to get it stuck to your clothes. To be certain you could dust it with an antibiotic powder then dress it with Sofra Tulle or another dressing that lets it breathe and won't stick.

yo bro, medicalfag here... a real one.

it appears you have deep tissue abrasions, keep bacitracin ointment on it, and keep it covered. make sure you maintain nice soft pink tissue, keep it washed and if there is excessive scabbing make sure its soaked in neosporin/bacitracin ointment and debride as necessary. (that means pick the scabs off, its ok if it bleeds underneath thats a good sign.)

as long as you dont get worsening/growing redness or any sort of yellow or green discharge there's no worries. the wound does not appear in that way, it just looks dried out and irritated. peroxide causes tissue necrosis on epithelial tissue. so if your getting excessive scabbing thats probably your cause, stop doing that.

tl/dr, looks good stop using peroxide. keep it soaked and soft in bacitracin/neosporin oitment. if it drips puss or green shit or swells and gets puffy red get to the fucking hospital immediately. fuck the bills its not worth your leg.

>>677882065
Well I can guess from the pink around at least the bottom one that they've healed slightly.
DO NOT USE ANY MORE H202. It resets the healing process, prolongs scabbing, and is probably the reason you still have these battle wounds. Had a scar of comparable size in August that took prob around 2 weeks or more to heal fully (also road rash). So no more peroxide, pick off current scab but don't touch next ones, get some comfrey salve and rub that shit on, but don't put bandages over as they will need to stay dry. Keep cleaning them with paper towels and shit until the scab, and if they start to look worse, talk to a goddamn doctor about antibiotics.

There are plenty of things this could be, your doc was right most likely a muscle.

So if you'd come see me I'd need to know things about you to help you out: Can you tell me some details here: Age, Weight, Ethnicity(Yea I'm a bit racist), Medical History particularly related to this but generally including medications you are taking now or have been taking in the past?.... This is just a bit of a start of the info I'd need to serve you properly as your doc. There are tests I'd send you for immediately again depending on what I've heard or seen in our visit. I can't help you over the internet but if you live in Wisconsin and can come by my clinic insurance or not I'd help you out.

I'm not a doctor or anything.
But I suspect it's some sort of infection.
You'll have to go to the doctor to find out whether it's bacterial or fungal.

But my hypothesis is that the reason it gets worse when you wrap it up is that the extra moisture from your skin and environment under the bandage is causing it to grow.

You have to go to the hospital, things like this don't just affect your skin, they can potentially spread to any organ in your body.

Everyone is assuming the hospital will fix you right away.
That is a farce. There is no guarantee the doctors themselves will even know what you have, they'll have to grow a culture and attack it with various perceptions before they can even fix you
If you go on to the hospital tonight, you could still have to wait weeks before anyone knows how to fix you, your infection could decimate you, go now.

>>677882065
How'd you get hit by the car, OP? Psycho ex?
>>
>>677887666
Yeah it's pretty common if you have upper GI problems like that. Once you said right side of neck that's what I figured. Does the feeling in your neck feel a bit different, almost tickly but not quite pin prick sensations? There is something you can try when this happens, but it depends on your gag reflex. If you stick your tongue out when this happens and place pressure with your finger on the back of your tongue (where it begins to go down in your throat), pushing towards your face, it should trigger a burp response. If that makes it pass immediately, you have your answer.

Seriously when in doubt get it checked. Don't be an idiot. Do I think he's gonna die, no, not likely, but honestly, I would want to see him in person to say 'you're good to go faggot'. I do laugh a people who come see me in the ER with a stubbed toe etc. but not for something substantive. I'd rather people come in. Vs. end up dealing with a mess later. Part of my role is to Educate patients.
>>
Basically if it's hot, red, lots of pain, has streaks running from it, smells bad, oozes pus or gives you a fever, you should worry and probably be on antibiotics. If you have none of those syptoms, stop whining you little pussy, it'll be gone in no time.

Looks exactly like what I had before it got worse. I ended up having a staph and strep infection. Mine started off small and kept getting bigger. It also started spreading to any small cuts in my skin.
Went to the Dr. and got Antibiotics. Once you get them it will heal quickly.

First of all, SEE A DOCTOR ASAP. That shit might be on it's way to a serious infection, if it isn't infected alreadu.

Now just FYI hydrogen peroxide isn't that great at killing germs compared to alcohol. It's mainly used for debridement. Use ethyl alcohol instead (vodka or any other type of clear unsweetened liquor). Also, you probably should let it air out sometimes. By keeping it constantly wrapped, you are trapping moisture and not letting it scab over. That clear liquid leaking out is probably lymph, which is fine, but could be clear pus. If you get any colored liquid, you are in serious trouble and should have seen a doctor ages ago. Also, remove that dead skin, it could cause infection.
>>
Don't let it turn into sepsis of the blood. You will die.

Get IV antibiotics for 24hrs at the hospital. Then continue with medication and dressing at home.
>>
>>677882065
Start antibiotics.
>>
>>677882065
Don't be a fucking idiot. Peroxide kills all the good shit you need to heal, too.
>>
It's fine. Stop scratching/ripping it. Put ointment on it. Don't be a retard.
>>
>>677882491
Fucking idiot, ever thought of washing it out? Or tetanus bacteria? Use iodine instead of that american bullshit stuff. Keep it yellow with that. First remove all that crap that's on it, that's why it's not healing, it needs to be clean and bleed a bit. Use water, a shower head, or soak in sodium water or whatever the fuck it is. Source: never studied any medicine shit.
>>
>>677890916
Basically this. You're gambling with your life OP. It might not even look that bad on the outside, yet you are developing a blood infection (sepsis). Sepsis is extremely deadly. If you're getting scared, you should be.
>>
>>677889355
Spooky indeed. I'm backing down. I just realized I just about invited 4Chan into my real life. I want to help people, however, there are folks on here I don't want to increase my odds of crossing paths with in real life. I hope these faggots see good medfaggots like you or I. Also fun, maybe we know each other in our real lives fucking cool!

Here's what mine looked like with staph and strep. And it did get worse than this picture. At first mine had that sloppy scab around the edges like yours.

>>677882065
It looks absolutely fine anon, but it is going to take a long time to heal those scrapes, and they'll be some ugly looking scars. But you'll be fine.

The US sells iodine too you asshat. Also, please explain how hydrogen peroxide, alcohol, and bacitracin are "american bullshit"? They're all sold worldwide and only bacitracin was discovered in the US.

dat infection doe

>>677891898
Oh yea I forget to mention, the Dr. said it can be life threatening. He told me if the antibiotics didn't start working withing 24 hours to go to the ER.

>>677883243
yep. Can't stress enough NO PEROXIDE

Yes that's american commercial bullshit, doesn't work as good it's just marketing, it's more expensive. Yeah you can buy iodine, who uses it, it's not flashy and cheap.

Peel the scabs off pour 90% isopropyl alcohol on it. Peroxide doesn't really do shit but bubble
>>
>>677892627
Are you fucking retarded?
>>
>>677892785
90% actually can make cell walls harden. Use 70% or below. 50% should do fine and they sell it at dollar stores.
>>
>>677892868
No I'm not, neosporin, the prays all that other shit it's just marketing. Iodone is all you need. Except maybe some special circumstances, which I don' t know.

That's funny, I didn't even noticed the coin. That happened to me in 2003.

>>677893058
You are claiming that alcohol and bacitracin are not actual antiseptics? Did you even make it through grade school?
>>
>>677882065
Okay this is what you need to do. Go to shoppers and buy a fuck tonne of polysporin, large gause and sports tape. Apply polysporin evenly on and around cut, wrap with gause. And LOOSELY wrap with sports tape to secure.
>>
>>677892243
Maybe you should read the wikipedia entry on Bacitracin and then you'd know it's shit. Doesn't work against resistant bacteria (hello mrsa, hello america). And it slows healing. Does it work against viruses, no.
>>
>>677882065
I would see a doctor if you can, it looks like you need some antibiotics

If not, get tea tree oil and apply with bandages twice a day. Also apply Neosporin triple antibiotic.

If you develop a fever, or notice yellow/green pus coming out please go to a doctor
>>
>>677891898

I can almost garunteed that all of them, work harder than you, spent an extra 4 years of school in medical school and a lot of money to go there, and lots of them basically save lives for a living, so yeah millions is decent for what they do. Become a doctor and then tell me you are OK with less.

>>677893356
Yeah, pennies made in 1981 and earlier are 95% copper. From 1982 to present day they are made with mostly zinc. Pennies dated 1982 could be either 95% copper or the new zinc type.

PS - Don't swallow pennies. The old copper pennies will ust stay in your stomach...the zinc in the new ones will react with your stomach acid and fuck you up bad.

Not a medfag, but it looks like dead, infected skin on the top one, and a worse infection on the bottom one. Antibiotics probably needed. Consult a doctor if you can. I sure as heck ain't one.
>>
I am a doctor. The only solution is to apply a neck tourniquet STAT
>>
>>677894071
I'd say the top one looks worse. Is there even any skin left in it to grow up? Looks like it's just fat to me.
>>
op do youhave an advanced directive cause i think youll need it
>>
>>677887177
This.

FFS do NOT use Hydrogen Peroxide on a wound except PERHAPS to initially clean it. It kills sensitive granulation tissue (google it).

muh cred: 20 years of Family Doctoring in my own practice
>>
Smell it. Does it smell like moldy cheese or decay? If so buy ever clear, drink 3 shots then go excising the rotting tissue with a dull kitchen knife periodically dumping vodka on it. Wait 2 days to see if it gets worse. If worse remove leg. Hope you know how to litigate arteries and deal with retracting tendons
>>
>>677882065
nursefag here. Your wound is leaking bodyfluid which means microorganisms has entered the wound. Seek a doctor, op.
>>
No peroxide! See a doc if you can if not keep it clean. Try to get some antibiotics. Echinacia will boost your immune system availble at the dolar tree btw. Use to be a emt b.
>>
>>677887532
and then hand him a $10,000 bill
>>
No it's not terrible infected, yes you shouldn't wrap it all the time and you are using way to much peroxide. Chill. You're over doing the treatment. That is some nasty road rash, but it's not medical maggot bad. So relax would you? Clean bandages, looser, less peroxide, more gel. And try not to touch it more than that. Also showers, not baths. Hydrotherapy does not work and bath water is far from sterile.
>>
>>677882065
ER doc here,

the wound is clearly infected, the yellow weaping/oozing is infectious and may cause spreading of the infection to other wounds.

You need to see a doctor and get some antibiotics. I suggest doing so now before it spreads, or it'll become a pain in the ass.
>>
>>677882065
It doesn't look terrible, tbh.
Wound care:

No peroxide or sprays (hard to say without knowing what it is). Will do more harm than good.

Wash with soap and water. Current guidelines advise AGAINST using triple antibiotic ointment (Neosporin). Instead cover with a small amount of Vaseline. Then bandage. Monitor and change dressing at least daily.

Any expansion of the red area, swelling, pain or systemic symptoms (fever, etc) and get your ass to urgent care/ED
>>
>>677882065
It's normal, takes awhile for that much skin to regenerate. Probably want to consider topical antibiotic like neosporin and keep it clean. Get some of those large gauze squares, impregnate with some bana na na na, Neo, bana nana nana na, Sporin.
Then use soft pressure with medical tape to secure it. change the dressing after you shower, see a doctor if you get any weird smells or swelling/fever that indicates an infection.
>>
>>677895005
Oh and weed does wonders for pain in edibles. Particularly the hard candies. It's delta 9 you are after. Disassociate. Not Technically a pain killer, as it doesn't block pain. You'll just feel as if it's far away.

>>
>>677895534
Ok agreed with the previous anon
>>677895391
apparently medfags have revised their opinion on using an antibiotic laden barrier, probably to prevent resistant staph infections go with the vaseline. really though, that shit looks or feels at all infected get an aggressive course of antibiotics and have it looked at by a professional, necrosis can get really ugly.
>>
If it would have healed you'd have like 50 ingrown hairs. Just die OP. For christ sake.
>>
Actual medfag here. I think you overdid it with the hydrogen peroxide, which is killing off the healthy granulation tissue that is trying to get in there. Just keep it clean and put some neosporin on it and it'll be fine.
>>
>>677882065
don't be pussy will be ok... Did you ever play rugby or soccer?? It's only an scratch

>>6778>>677882065
Had something similar as a child from road rash. You're fine, it is infected a bit but just put some antibacterial cream on it and let it heal. Also, you'll get a really awesome scar!
>>
>>677882065
Abrasions wounds tend to take longer time to heal (at least a month), wash it with soap and water, apply some silver dressing (ex Aquacel)
>>
Rn here. Stop treating it with hydrogen peroxide, it slows the healing. Wrap it during the day, rinse it in the morning and before bed, let it be exposed to the air during the night. Abrasions like this take weeks. It looks like it's healing. I give it another month.
>>
You need to go to the hospital for tetanus OP. Symptoms can still start to show up after a week. It can kill you or give agonizing pain. Even with medical treatment if I'm not mistaken.
