Question: I cut the top of my left foot on a piece of glass outdoors on Thursday evening. It bled profusely for about 5 minutes until i kept pressure on it. I rinsed it under cold water, cleaned it and sprayed bactine on it. I dried it off and then I put neosporin plus on it and applied several bandaids. It was fine after than and I could walk around and everything. The next morning I could not apply weight to that foot and it had swollen a little in the area of the cut. It had bled a little more but did not soak to my sheets or anything so I removed bandages, cleaned again and reapplied neosporin and bandaids. I have been pretty much limping when i do have to move since yesterday as it is sore to apply too much weight on it. Now I notice the area around the cut(which is actually healing)is swollen and there and is numb...like i have not feeling in a small area around the cut.
Is this normal?
