A week ago, I had my hand in between the dishwasher and the cabinet as I was trying to level the dishwasher. I didnt know the previous had left splintered wood on the cabinet side. As I slid my hand out between the two, I got several splinters in my hand which I pulled out. I also had a wound that was bleeding, but I couldn't see anything in it like a splinter. I cleaned it, put ointment on, and then a bandage. Yesterday, I noticed that a scab had formed on top, but the area around it is red and puffy. It doesn't hurt, so I took the scab off and tried to squeeze exudate out of it without success. I'm in the US where we don't have magnesium sulfate, for some odd reason, but I do have Epsom salts which I can mix in with petroleum jelly.
Do you think it needs to be seen by a general doctor so I can get an antibiotic if need be, or do you think magnesium sulfate will draw out the gunk?
Thank you for your opinion!
