The kitchen cabinet door came off the hinges and hit me over the left eyebrow and forehead. I m applying ice. Question: how long should I apply ice and could this be serious? There is just a slight scratch with a very little blood. Blood has stopped. I feel a little pain.
I went through your details. If the blood flow has stopped, there is nothing to worry about for the time being. You can stop ice application once the blood stopped. Now you should examine the wound. If the wound is just a scratch, you may just apply some anti septic lotion or ointment. Examine the wound thouroughly. If it is even a little deep, you should consult a surgeon for tetanus shots or may be for stitches. If you feel the deep seated pain or contusion or progressive swelling, you should consult a surgeon.
