Clean it until it burns. Pick out any particulate matter. Clean it again.

I once ripped my foot open on a reef and I was in the middle of nowhere. I pulled a huge wad of sand out of the wound and cleaned it with Guaro which is like a cheap rum.

It wasn’t fun but it was fine.

Just make sure to keep it cleaned and wrap it up to protect it from getting any infections

its a fracture of a distal phalanges typical of hammer of large object impact where the figure is pinched. the discoloration and pain / swelling is my worry. Fingers are important but hard to heal properly so please don’t feel the need to be tough about it.

I’m just trying not to go in debt while buying a house lmao …I can bend it if I try really hard with almost no pain only pain is when it tears the cut from opening …
I greatly appretiate your input and concern for a stranger !

Yes America gotta love it lmao …do you think ithcimol ointment that black sauve goop would draw out possible infections

that looks unbelievably painful!! that exceeds all the finger-smashing I’ve ever done by 10 times! :smile: If you don’t feel like going for stitches buy some steri-strips at the pharmacy and use them. I split my leg open on a rock and had good luck w/ steri strips holding it closed for a few days.

no, google proper bandaging. nothing to draw out yet. Clean clean clean is name of the game. like a gallon of super clean water a couple time. a walmart run for gaze and triple antibiotic ointment. you can ask the pharmacist for help on what you need thats cheap
