ok, so i was just doing dishes and i cut myself, pretty bad, on my pinky.

can anyone tell me what to do? i probably need stitches, but i can’t get to a hospital right now, so that’s out of the question. it has more or less stopped bleeding… i’ve already bled through one towel. am i supposed to wash it or something? like, i’ve done the pressure and elevation thing, but now i dunno what to do.it kinda went through the skin and out the other side (and back out), but the skin moved so now it’s crooked. should i put it back in place?

most importantly, should i rinse it, maybe wash it with soap?? hot or cold water??

thanks.

Why are you unable to get to a medical facility.

Hydrogen Peroxide is all you need. My friend sliced is finger open to the bone and used hydroperox and waited for it to heal.

this is very vague, you made no mention of what you cut yourself with, how, what type of cut, be more descriptive

i cut it with a peice of glass… i was washing a glass, and it broke. what do you mean what type of cut?? it cut the skin, it’s bleeding, it’s somewhat deep, but not too bad. i don’t even really feel it, just burns a little.

no, i didn’t pass out. thanks inf, i’ll check that site. i can’t go to the hospital cause it’s too far, and i don’t have a car til 7:30. and i am not gonna call an ambulance for a minor cut, it’s ridiculous.

a pinky is your smallest finger, rachey.

Do you have a friend or someone in your family who could take you there?
