I have a large cut on my wrist, it remained open most of last night, and today it was crusty, yellow, and swollen. I put some peroxide on it repeatedly and it continued pussing with no signs of letting up. I put rubbing alcohol on it and some aloe gel and a bandage and looked up some home remedies. I learned taking a tea bag to it along with alcohol and aloe gel might help it, so I did that. The cut softened profusely but was still yellow, swollen and red along the edges. I prodded the inside a bit and discovered that it had turned a yellow/green. I also discovered, that this was a layer, was was quite gooey. I removed it gently, and tried the tea bag remedy again. It worked much better. Then I checked with the peroxide to see if it was still infected, it pussed a little but not as much. I then put alcohol on it and aloe gel again and then bandaged it. It feels a bit better now, but still swollen and a bit red. Do you think its alright or is there anything else I should do?
Hi, It seems that there is bacterial infection in cut wound giving swelling, induration and pain. Clean the wound with antiseptic lotion and Chat Doctor. Go for one antibiotic medicine course like amoxicillin or levofloxacilin for 3-5 days. Ok and take care.
