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 just cut my lower thigh by accident. I was changing the blade in an exacto-knife and somehow it cut my leg. My mother started freaking out, saying I might need stitches, and it didn t hurt when I got cut, but it did start hurting about 5 minutes later when my mom dressed the wound and put tape on it. I m not sure if it will need a doctor s attention or not. Could you help me determine?
Hello dear. By your description it looks like an incised wound. Kindly go to a doctor and get it sutured. He may give you Tetanus injection, antibiotics and pain killers. Kindly do not neglect such issues. Health is wealth. Hope i have answered your question. Feel free to contact me if you have any more questions. I ll be glad to help you. All the best With warm regards Dr Sanjay Kini
