Oozing wounds.

Do you have health insurance? I'd probably get those checked out.

You're going to die.

Yeah, even the best cleaning and topical treatment won't always get it all. You'll probably want some prescription antibiotics.

It's called road rash and anyone who has ridden a motorcycle for any length of time has had a case or two. You'll be fine. You simply damaged enough veins so that the fluid has no where to go but out the edges of your wounds. As long as there are no signs of blood poisoning, suck it up and keep the wounds clean.

really, keeping limbs and extremeties for your entire life is extremely overrated. I would just ignore your injuries and live with the rotting flesh and whatnot.

NM-I take no responsibility for your digits if you get an infection. Go see a doctor right away.

It's normal. I skinned my knee and arm pretty badly earlier in the year when I ran off some wet grass onto some concrete to prevent a soccer ball from rolling into the street. I was wearing cleats (stopped the ball) and as soon as I hit the cement, I slipped and skidded a foot or two. My knee and armed oozed for a few days. Just used large gauze pads with some ointment I had. After a few days, I just let it dry out and it scabbed over.

Sheesh! What is it with this generation? Did you all grow up surrounded by bubble wrap? Playing outside tends to result in accidents.

An entire generation survived long enough to give birth to the current wussified generation without the aid of the internet, 24 hour medical treatment and, the need to over analyze every waking breath. If you got out of the basement when you were a kid, you would already have experienced these types of mishaps.

Some of us don't like playing outside.
I've never broken a bone, that I know of anyway. Once I did slip on water-covered cement, and my toe smashed into a chair as I fell flat on my back. It might have had a hairline fracture, but I didn't get X-rays. It swelled up a good bit, and hurt a lot. But it healed up fine.


I've never had any substantial "skinning" type injury like this. At least not that I care to remember.

But hey, if he'd gone through them as a kid, well, so what? So what if it was done then or now? Either way, the event will have occurred, and the experience will have been obtained. It's just that if it happens as a kid, mommy's there to take care of everything. There'd be just as many questions, but if you're just a kid, they're not much of a concern. Now as an adult, well, it gets posted on ATOT instead.




I'm going to go play on your lawn now.

You may be washing away the fluids your body is using to fight off the infection. Unless you get it dirty again, there's no reason to use soap/water AND peroxide.

If you're keeping it wrapped and covered, keep the Neosporin on it, and clean bandages. It should clear up in a few days.

pics?

My experience: Neosporin prevents the wound from scabbing up (probably so it heals faster) which means its going to ooze. I've experienced the same thing every time using neosporin. If I quit using it it scabs up and no oozing.
