Picture taken today(10/16)

On Saturday night (10/10) I touched a metal peice i didn't realize was hot. The skin/blister is completely intact. It is not painful at all. Wouldnt say numb as i can feel if i touch things. I'm keeping it covered and using ointment.

I am not worried about scaring. I just am wondering will it heal with no medical intervention. I don't want to pay an arm and a leg to be told just keep doing what I'm doing.

Any advice would be lovely.

Took the old ones out as the skin was growing over it to much and the stitches were cutting the wound

But do I need more ? It's hard as it's on my palm

Got a small cut on this damn broken handle. Its looks kind of rusted as you can see. I sprayed it with lysol (it was all I could find) and rubbed hand sanitizer on it shortly after. I gotta go see a Doctor anyways it’s been a while… Should I really be worried?

I just scrapped my knee and 24 hours later there's this sticky fluid on my knee? Is this just normal fluid or pus?

Its on an angle like a flap dont know if i need stitches didnt really bleed a ton

What should I do with my cut finger?

About a month ago, I got a tattoo done on my forearm. It's a half-sleeve. The artist I had didn't do a great job, to say the least. She obviously overworked it, and then after, gave me improper after care instructions. So now I'm left with marks on my skin where the pigment isn't as melonated as the rest.

Over the month it has been healing, it has gotten a LITTLE more melonated. But it still looks pink for the most part. It's itching, but it's a healthy kind of itching. I know it's healing, but I'm worried how far it can go. Is there some kind of ointment I can use to get my pigment back? Or some kind of procedure that needs to be done? It feels like it'll never return back to my normal skin color.

This may be the wrong subreddit for this, and it is, I apologize in advance. I'll also say in advance I'm not a professional nor claim to be. I have basic first-aid training through my employer (construction) and through a local CERT (Community Emergency Response Team) group.

Recently, I had to help my SO with her elderly father. Without too many details, he ended up witha cut on his foot. He didn't have any kind of bandages at his house, but I remembered I had a small FAK in my truck (A little JJ Keller kit that I took from a previous company vehicle before it was traded in... https://a.co/d/0fHtrPfN ). Everything was still sealed but some of the stuff had expired by a few years. I was able to get his foot fixed up and taken care of.

Which brings me to my new issue. I've been looking into getting a new FAK for my truck. I know Walmart and other places carry general kits which would probably be fine, but one thing is I drive roughly 90 minutes each way for work, usually early mornings or late nights. I also work construction, so there is that addition. I also do off-road trips (nothing wild).

I had a discussion with AI about a good, multi-purpose kit, and it was pointing me to something that almost seemed like an ambulance in a bag! The first one it recommended was something from Scherber - a Basic First Responder Trauma Kit! I'm not a paramedic! Sometimes AI can run away with itself...

I spoke with my sister, who used to be a paramedic. She told me that my brother-in-law recommended one of the marine FAK's, and he recommended one of Adventure Medical Kit's Marine 450 kit. I like the idea of it being waterproof, as this would be store under the back seat of my truck, or possibly in my Jeep (when off-roading), but $230 is a bit much!

My idea was to have something that can basically treat myself or someone else until professional help can arrive/take over. The cases I was using were either rendering aid for an auto accident, or something happens while out off-roading, or a natural disaster (hurricane, tornado, etc).

Thanks for reading and providing any constructive advice!

TL:DR - Looking for an upgraded first-aid kit (FAK) for my truck/home/Jeep that's more than just bandaids and tape...

Could someone please tell me if this burn is infected? I burned myself 4 days ago but only noticed the red around it today. before you ask, yes it is a self harm injury.

A small cut made with a pocket knife.. This is a day after. Bled for a good 10 minutes minimum.

what's the best way to make this not scar to much if I'm broke and do not want to buy anything for it *not fresh from 2-3 days ago I was trying to clean it with hydrogen peroxide so I peeled off the scab\ any advice helps thanks

Hi, I burnt my finger on a hot pan, should this be fine with a few curse words and some aloe or do I need to seek more help? Hurts like heck

The bite happened the previous morning when I was separating two fighting cats. Luckily, no cats were harmed and my hand sustained all the damage. Cats are both up to date on rabies vaccines and I have had my tetanus booster within a year. Should this be a doctor or ER visit, or a wait and see with rest and OTC treatment?

stepped on big piece of glass with my friends. waited a day. then I went to the ER yesterday night. I had the cut for a day at that point. there was no bruising, but it was like.. open. by the way, this is UPA in Brazil.
i’m from America. they ask why I didn’t come sooner. but didn’t stitch it or anything.
I feel like it looks really bad. It’s hard to walk and why is it open? should I do something else? i’m going to disinfect it and covered, but I wanna go out for Halloween. Why is it literally open?
I asked in the ER if I needed stitches, they said no

Do you guys think it’s healing correctly I’m just paranoid rn and I’m hoping it’s not infected

Just burnt myself with boiling water. Should i use sudocream for this? Ive put it under cold water for 20 mins
