Hi,I am Dr. Shanthi.E (General & Family Physician). I will be looking into your question and guiding you through the process. Please write your question below.
I had a deep cut almost to the shin bone, in which a medic said it required stitches, but I cleaned it real well with Iodine and superglued it together. It seemed to hold, but one side of it opened and is now draining, and has 3 blisters around it. I went to a doctor today and got a tetanus shot and nurse just said if it gets red and swollen I should come back. Should I be concerned?
