I cant go now. What can I do to hold me over until the morning. I'll see the school nurse tomorrow at 11am and based on her analysis I'll take further action.Quote:

Hmm yeah maybe it is a bit late to go now. I would get some warm water with maybe a cotton ball then clean around the wounded area and then dry with a cotton ball too. It's also important that you let the air get to it which will increase the healing process.Quote:

Hope some of this helps. :]
I used a disinfectant wipe and some sterile solution that my brother used for his wound from his kidney transplant then put a new plaster and bandage on it
Yeah that should hold it until tomorrow. Make sure you see the nurse though because it will save you time and pain. ;pQuote:

Imo i'd go and see a gp if the pain in your knuckle doesn't subside soonish, otherwise the damage may be permanent.
Edit: upon seeing the pic you posted i'd deffo say go to A&E to get it stitched up. Is that the bone I can see? :O
^ No, It is flabby skin. The wound is starting to heal itself. The gym is a ****hole, it only gave me 2 plasters. It has no first aid.
You should complain. Tell them if they don't improve you'll take legal action. You are in the right here. :)
