Not really sporn and a bit gory - you have been warned

[sashh]

OK so I had a fall, most of the impact was on knees / shins and hands but when I got up I realised I had a long cut.

There is no blood where I fell and I didn't fall on anything like glass.

The only thing I can think of is that I did have a cat scratch and somehow the fall opened it.

Anyway here's a couple of pics, yesterday and today, any suggestions as to what it is? Or what happened?

BTW it didn't hurt at the time, I only noticed blood on my hand and it still doesn't hurt. Yes I am being careful to keep it clean.

That looks very sore, if I was you I’d get a pharmacist to have a look at it - they’re fantastic at checking out wounds and suggesting the best way to deal with them.

Definitely get someone to look at that.

Was there definitely nothing there before your fall?

Ermmm..... expert as we are over here.... that is WAY above our pay grade..it needs professional, medical attention. Go get it seen.

I agree with Crumbs, definitely get that looked at by a professional.

Hope you're not in too much pain! Nice to have a satisfactory bruise though. Nothing worse than hurting yourself snd having nothing to show for it

Above the pay grade of a sporner, I shall make myself a chufty badge.

The picture looks way worse than it actually is, I have a dressing on it now and it does not hurt at all.

I do bruise easily and I always have bruises I don't remember happening.

I would still see a professional, especially if you bruise easily and haven’t had that checked before. It could indicate an underlying problem, hopefully not but I would get it looked at for that reason, not just for the current wound itself.

@Magstermay and everyone else, thank you for your concern, I am keeping an eye on it.

As for the bleeding, we have quite a few redheads in the family so unusual bruising goes with the territory.

It is healing rapidly, which is unusual for me.

Um, you really need to see a health care provider with that. Why are you ignoring such advice??

That doesn't look like a cut. It looks like the skin has split. Id really go and see about that.

OP - did you see a doctor? Did it heal? Most importantly, are you ok?
