I would really like to know, if so what can I do?? And im sorry I dont know how to blur photos.

I was opening my locker some guy ran into me and my finger got pinched badly between him and the locker, immediate pain and it burns to extend out wards fully but when i bend it down it is perfectly fine, it’s extremely purple too.

Sliced my finger on a chipped graduated cylinder in the lab I work in; looks pretty superficial in the photo, but actual tissue is split pretty deep. Bled a lot for the first 45 min or so; bleeding on & off since. 25 y/o female

21 M 5’8 170. Hi! I got bit by a rotweiler last night. Went to urgent care today got it cleaned out. They didn’t seal the wound as it was animal related. Wondering best steps to take moving forward and when it would be safe to use steri strips to close it. When I spread my hand as seen above its fairly deep but in a normal position it doesn’t look nearly as bad.

maybe 4-5 days old. does it look infected? how can I treat them for healing. I just want them to heal alr

I have a bad habit of pulling hang nails well this finger is pretty swollen and painful and I woke up with mild joint pain in my knuckle. I’ve take ibuprofen and it feels better but should I be seen by a dr or treat at home. And if treat at home what’s the best way to care for this type of injury?

I had boiling hot water poured directly on the top of my breast for like 5 seconds straight at work yesterday and it peeled back my skin and was pretty painful. After I got home, got it cleaned up, I put hydrocolloid tape on it, but it’s looking super weird under the tape. Should I keep this piece on, replace with a new piece, or remove entirely and let it air out? Photo of the burn when it happened, and what it looks like now beneath the tape like 30 hours later

I must have hit my tie jumping into the pool yesterday around 5pm. The first couple pics are from yesterday 4-5 hours after I felt pain and then the rest today at 1pm. I don't think its broken.

Today I was just outside setting up a shooting target and I was cutting some branches in the way of the target nothing crazy but definitely took me around 30 seconds to just cut them and press down with my boots. I was wearing cargo pants with a t-shirt. Later I’d say an hour after my dad comes by and he’s points at the area I cleaned and goes that’s poison ivy that too and there , basically everywhere… he started telling me the contamination is as bad as Ebola and you can’t sleep if you have a bad rash.. I have a final exam soon and two jobs and I’m so scared that I’m gonna get a crazy reaction. I sped home ( on the four wheeler ) and took a dawn dish soap shower , put all I was wearing in a trash bag and disinfected my phone. Is my life gonna be hell ? 😭 also right now I do not feel itchy but I know it’s starts after hours 😔

Was cutting potatoes today and accidentally cut my thumb. It was bleeding more than usual but I just slapped a bandaid on it. I went to replace my bandaid and noticed it looks kinda deep even tho it doesn’t hurt. Thoughts?

I’ve been covering my burn with polysporn and a bandage and changing it daily but I’m wondering if it would heal better/faster with no bandage

This stray kitten of my hostel scratched me , it didn’t bleed . Should I take any prevention steps? I already washed the wounds. I’m just worried

I put some antibacterial on it. Bleeded a CRAP ton of blood, about a quarter cup. Wrapped in cotton now, but that might not be the right choice...
