Cut on a finger?

Question:

i cut my finger on a plastic video case few days ago as it fell off a shelf,the cut had plastic bit in there i got them out.since then my finger is brusing and it has this pain in now and again which is a very sharp pain,could there be more plastic in finger,also it it hurts to bend

Answers:
Three things: One there may be some more plastic in it Two it may have been a deep cut healed over and have some pus in it. Three is may be infected. Answer you need to go to doctor so he can see what you have done cuts on fingers do hurt and take a while to heal however you have pain and it hurts to bend so my guess either infection or some plastic left in even a tiny bit will irritate as it is a forgne body inside you.

Might be worth going to the A&E to get them to have a look at it for you.

Doctor.

could be somthing in it or maybe infection, i'd get it checked out to be on the safe side

put it in a sling, then go have a lie down

Go to a doctor, simple.

you could have shards still in there. go to a doctor to have it checked. it may be getting infected so you may need antibiotics too. you could have damaged a nerve. if unsure, get it checked

If it got a lump of plastic in it it's bound to be sore. If I were you I'd be more worried if it was swollen and/or seeping pus. Might be worth swinging by your GP.

It is a possibility

Have a soak in the bath and try squeezing it when the skin is soft cause it might have an infection..

If nothing comes out put some anteseptic cream on it and cover, if it is not any better get it checked out at the doctors just to be safe.

Good luck xx

You've probably just got an infection from bacteria getting in there while the wound was open.

go get some antibiotics the dirt or dust in the case is infecting your finger and is bad go now and see someone about this and next time wash the cut out good and then superglue it shut after washing with alcohol if it freely bleeds its more likely to be clean,, ask about a tetanus shot is yours up to date

It could be infected, it could have a bit of plastic embedded or it could be broken. See a doc - now.

go to the swimming pool that should sort it out

Go to your Dr`s to check it out

Could be, but Infection sounds like in it. Soak it in hydrogen peroxide. If it doesn't get better, go to the doctor. If any doubts, see the doctor.

GO TO THE DOCTOR.

It's more likely to be soreness from the cut but infection could set in.
Cuts on a finger often take longer to heal. Use a bandaid with an antibiotic and leave it on till it feel better. If it Doesn't feel better in a week to ten days see your doctor, go to a clinic or an emergency room.

Yes, there is more plastic in the finger. Rub alcohol on it. If the pain doesn't go away get it checked out.

Yes, do have your finger checked, especially that it hurts when you bend your finger. Hope your ligaments are intact (?).
If you hate the long waiting hours in an A&E, go to a Minor Injuries Unit (if there's one available in your area).

Get it checked.
