Slit Knuckles.

Thats gross. Go to the god damn hospital. My sisters bf cut his knee open and didnt go and it ended up getting badly infected which resulted in this kneee being stitched back up because all the skin near it had died. Go...NAOW!

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.

Just keep it covered and clean until further action.

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.

One other thing you can do is get some salted water and gently dab on and around the wound. If you do this make sure that it has stopped bleeding frist.

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. ;p

You should have gone to the gym's emergency room at the time, where they would see it just after it happened and would have probably been more hygenic than using loo roll.

If it's a big chunk of skin then go and get it stiched, otherwise clean the wound daily and use fresh bandages.

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?

[PaulMacC]

^ 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.
