Any one have a home remedy for infections????
Question:
Answers:
You've had some good suggestions. The soaking in sea salt is only for awhile to help loosen the area for pus, if you have any. Or to help dry it out. After an initial soak, let it dry well. You want to keep it dry now except for flushing it 2-3 X's daily with hydrogen peroxide. Then again let it dry. Then put the neosporin on or aloe vera, make sure the aloe vera is clean too, and with CLEAN hands, rub it in gently. If the cut isn't real deep, let it get as much air as possible, reminding you to clean it often. Sometimes covering it with bandages gives it a moist bacteria breeding ground. Cover it when you'll be doing things that will rub it or if you need to use that finger. Then let it air dry again. Like when you go to bed or when you're sitting around and not using it.
Keep it clean, clean, clean and dry, dry, dry!!!. Cover it up when you bathe and take showers. Use something like a clean baggie over it and a rubber band at the base of your finger to keep water out.
If you don't show a remarkable difference in a couple days, GO to the Dr. Don't fool around with it. It could be dangerous from infection.
P.S. Aloe vera as mentioned can be very beneficial after it's clean. Again, let it dry, always have it dry before covering it up.
Peroxide and neosporin.
