I poked, accidentally, a hole in my hand with a very sharp clean knive this morning, ouch!  The cut was somewhat deep but not more than 1/3 inch long.  I used one steri strip to close the wound and a band aide.  The wound is know purple in a two inch diameter circle from the wound.  Should I be concerned?
HI THANKS FOR ASKING THIS ON Chat Doctor, THE PURPLE Color IS DUE THE COLLECTION OF BLOOD AROUND THE WOUND AND ALSO DUE TO THE STARTING OF INFLAMMATORY REACTION IN THAT SITE. MY FIRST ADVICE WOULD BE TO GET A SHOT OF TETANUS IF YOU HAD NOT HAD IT IN THE RECENT 5 YRS AND ALSO GET THE WOUND CLEANED WELL AND GET IT Chat Doctor.
