the redness has spread around two cuts and the area around is also puffier than the other cuts... as far as i can tell. they have scabs. can i put antibiotic cream on them, will that help? even if there's a scab and it might be infected? :'( or should i see a gp? i can't go to an ER, i don't even know where one is and mom would be so mad.

oh and it's been like two days since i cut so... i dunno how long it takes to get infected.

i have no fever as far as i know.

Is this about your axe-wound?

Yeah I saw, but mine was better.

Besides, this is intensity, the cunt joke has always been done.

I know, I know: you want to flaunt your hipness with your knowledge of what "axe-wound" means.

mine isn't bearded. :P

i can't tell if it's getting better i still haven't got neosporin. the redness seems lighter than it was yesterday but the area is still the same size i think. it might get redder if i put on pants. i just wanna lie in bed and have it get lighter and lighter so i can stop worrying.

Sorry, I IMMEDIATELY misread it as "cunt". Must be a non-cunt owner thing.

Soak whatever it is, in warm salt water.  let the scabs soften then cover it with anti-biotic cream, and a light sterile dressing.  (and sterilize what ever you get cut with BEFORE hand...and washing our hands in warm water and mild soap is the BEST way to prevent the spread of germs.)

If you have to wear pants to go out, do you have any loose ones?

I had two cuts infected on my arm and they got better in four days so they weren't infected anymore. I just kept them clean by washing the area. I didn't use cream or peroxide or anything.
