Avatar f tn Stitching would require opening the skin to access the vein. It's much safer to allow the puncture wound to close up on its own. Stitching is an option however.
Avatar f tn My dog was bit on the shoulder and under on the meaty upper part of his leg which left a small puncture wound, I treated it 3 times a day for over a week, applying hot compresses to the lump that developed near the wound in the arm pit area, I noticed it would bleed a lot after treating it, I also applied hydrogen peroxide and an triple antibiotic to the wounds, he seems to be doing a lot better now, barely limps and is eating and drinking and seems to be in great spirits.
Avatar m tn Did I have a risk of getting hiv if I got punctured by this piece of metal and a person who may have been hiv positive got punctured by this same piece of metal only a few seconds before and had left residues of their hiv blood on this piece of metal which may have gotten into my puncture wound when I punctured myself on this same piece of metal. Also was there even more of a risk if I ran a toothpick under the nail causing it to bleed more and driving posible hiv blood further into the wound?
516285 tn?1211547390 Moderate bleeding went on for 3 days, then wound healed. Two days ago a large lump appered under the wound, growing in size all the time, though not at a fast rate, is now about size of goose egg and area is growing in size. Went back to vet "leave it alone" come back if it really is large. I am concerned, I'm off again to vet tonight. He doesnt seem to be in pain, and he is eating ok. Is the swelling normal after the trauma of a bite ??
Avatar n tn There is a huge lump, the size of a baseball on the back of my puppy's neck. The lump has doubled in size since yesterday and am wondering what this could be. It feels like there is liquid in it and everytime we touch the area, my puppy cries. What could this be? Can a stick a needle in it and try to pop it?
Avatar f tn Im really scared and paranoid. Is there a chance that (if he has wound or something) would jump into the puncture I had on my right arm where the blood test took place? Is there a risk of hiv transmission? Is the puncture already closed after 3-4 hrs? Will hiv virus get into that puncture? Please answer me. I am really scared for my baby. God bless you all.
Avatar n tn It has been almost 8 months after and I feel it has never healed correctly. It is red and irritated looking and has a lump beneath the surface. It often itches and is sometimes even painful. Do you have any information you can give me regarding this? Is this normal? I almost feel like I need to have the lump taken out and have stitches in to have it properly heal. Help please!
Avatar m tn I have developed extreme rabies fear. Please help. So for the past 3 months I've been dealing with really really bad fear of rabies. Today after I've had retrieved a tennis ball from a bush, I noticed swelling and a minute puncture wound. I've automatically thought of the possibility of it being a bite from a rabid bat and freaked out. I was at a tennis club and there some people there and I did not see any bats.

Avatar f tn Has anyone ever had an experience with a nodule/lump ocurring at the incision site after a stertactic biopsy? I had it done ten days ago and now there is a palpable lump the size of a pea right at the incision site.
Avatar m tn I wouldn't worry about it if the cat has had her shots. She was only acting that way because you interrupted her hunt. I wouldn't worry too much about the mouse blood, unless you're sure the mouse was sick. It doesn't sound like the mouse was sick. We lived where the cats caught field mice and shrews all the time and none of the cats ever got sick.
Avatar f tn I know i should have went to the doctor but i have no health insurance. After about a week and a half my foot felt completely back to normal. No more pain. The puncture wound was NEVER red, irritated, or anything. So it seemed like an easy healing. The spot that the injury was felt kind of hard once it healed, but not painful to touch, so i figured it was just scar tissue or what not.
Avatar m tn " I looked around the area and could not see a needle or syringe. There was no blood on my toe or any visible puncture wound." Answers your question.
456970 tn?1287587447 Flush the wound with peroxide and try to keep the wound from closing up on the outside. A puncture wound should heal from the inside out to make sure it doesn't get closed up where a pocket of infection could form.
Avatar m tn Congratulations on the benign pathology results. As for those breast biopsies... there's a lot of swelling and bruising that takes place. There's also scar tissue formation during the healing process, which can make the site of the incision (or, needle puncture) feel like a hard lump. Maybe, what you're feeling as being a lump is, in fact, scar tissue.
Avatar m tn If the wound was from a puncture, especially from a nail or other rusty object have you had a tetanus vaccine in the last 10 years? If not you should get one. Puncture wounds are hard to treat and you would nead oral antibiotics. If it isn't a puncture wound do what I mentioned above.
Avatar f tn Her foot did not bleed immediately but there is an obvious puncture wound. Can you please advise me on the risk of hiv. Thank you.
Avatar m tn Could you tell me why? A puncture wound is not superficial, Right?
Avatar m tn I found abrasion on my hand. Is this abrsion look like needle puncture wound? I have an obsession about hiv, i know that but i can handle it quite well. Also, my english is quite poor, it is not my native language. This picture is taken when i found this.
Avatar m tn Then nurse wiped blood using a cutton ball for him. After about 2 minutes, nurse draw blood from my vein and pressed a cutton ball on my bloody needle wound. Nurse didn't change gloves between patients. About half an hour, nurse tell us testing result and that man was stayed for futher test.(The people who is hiv+ will be stayed for further test).
Avatar m tn Another dog recently bit my dog. He has a small, semi-deep puncture wound. I shaved the area, washed it thoroughly with running warm water, and then rinsed it with diluted betadine. I'm leaving the wound undressed to allow for drainage. Here is a picture of it. Should I do anything more, such as neosporin or a topical anti-biotic?
Avatar m tn Since it started healing, I have started to form a rash around the location of the puncture wounds. A couple of the puncture wounds are already healed up, but this blistery rash continues. The rash is made up of numerous small bumps around the still healing and already healed puncture wounds. Sometimes, if I don't pay attention and I manage to bump my arm, these little bubbles will 'pop' and leave behind some clear fluid.
Avatar f tn Just noticed yesterday that my cat has a puncture wound near his anus. He has been licking it incessantly and there is a raw area around it. He does not seem to be in pain (I can touch the area with no big reaction) and seems fine otherwise. Will this just heal? Is there something I can do at home? He has a very traumatic history with vets and I would like to avoid taking him in if at all possible.
Avatar f tn Yestersay, I tripped and fell and got a puncture wound on a plastic tray. It did not bleed much at all and im concerned about tetanus. Should I go for a tetanus shot?
Avatar f tn Hi and sorry you had an accident. I wonder if you got a puncture wound? If your lymph nodes are swollen you may have an infection. Do you have a fever? Is the area painful and hot? Do you see any red streaks coming out of the area? Any scab or area where there may have been a cut into the skin or puncture mark? I think you may want to get the wound checked out to see if you have an infection. Can you turn your neck okay and back?
