I'll post an updated pic later when I can.

Dang, I know that feel.

Zoom in.

I have to be more careful.

They’re out of my head. Healing decently. Have to be careful not to reopen or touch that spot too much.

Haha sure when I get home. For now read the last post where I slice my pinky on a half open tuna can down to the layer of fat and cover it in cayenne and honey based on ancient Egyptian cures.

Some natural health news site, I was desperate to stop the bleeding quickly.

>>1406095
A few years ago I sliced my pinky open with a can of tuna and I was bleeding so much I covered it in cayenne because the internet said it would stop bleeding quickly. Covered it in cayenne and then raw honey. That cut also needed stitches but I didn't want any so it took a month to heal and I'm left with a scar.

Yes, the scab made joining the two cut sides very difficult. I know I messed up lol. But it’s an improvement from the last time I had a major cut and I covered it in cayenne pepper powder. I’m a very accident prone person ha.

>>1405161
Haha that’s the fucked up truth and one of the reasons I hesitated to go to the doctor. I’ll post my bill for this accident if I get it before this thread dies.

>>1404710
Yeah that’s what they told me. Stitches and staples are best within 6 hours, and after 48 hours they won’t put stitches at all. The cut skin was actually much closer together immediately after the cut now that I think of it. And it’s funny you mention sadistic doctors, because the main doctor of the first clinic I visited gleefully said he loves stapling jobs but sadly isn’t given the tools at the clinic so he advised me to go to an urgent care facility nearby.

>>1404717
Ha yes I am. Luckily I got a tetanus shot 2 years ago during my last physical. Side note: I’m overdue for another physical according to them during my visit yesterday. So fun

>>1404491
Ha you’re telling me. I learned to avoid QuikClot type powders unless it’s life or death bleeding type situation. /diy/ should have a first aid kit type thread general.

>>1404474
Yeah a nurse had to scrub that out. Felt like she was scrubbing my skull.

>>1404445
Ha. Only a nail gun. Here’s a clearer pic.

Doctor said it was deeper than it looked. Stapled it.

>>1404409
Yeah my local clinic doctor told me it would have been an easy stitch right after the cut, but I waited too long so he sent me to an urgent care center. If they can’t do anything then I need to visit an emergency center. JUST

Saline solution was applied by nurse.

I’m waiting for the doc.

*I’m stuck on band aid because band aid is stuck on me*

Update: woke up, feeling tired, wound looks about the same. Eating breakfast then heading to urgent care. Last night I woke up and slicked back my hair out of habit, that hurt.

>>1404048
I now realize how dumb that was to do. I was anxious and panicking and wanted to stop the bleeding quickly.

>>1404057
Yeah I regret not going but ER is a mess so I will wait.

>>1404066
That was close my name does start with a J

Update: I wrapped a shirt around my head to keep the gauze pad on and if I wake up and this thread is still here I will report back on my condition. If not, I regret wasting too much time on this site so don't be like me.

OKAY I have decided to go to the doctor tomorrow morning. Thanks for the bullying, I needed it. I'm more scared of the doctor than dying in my sleep desu.
