sea bar yum
i love seabar downtown and they expanded their menu to include lots of other things besides sushi. (e:terry) got savory waffles with fried chicken and maple syrup. I got linguine with two kinds of clams.

cut
is this what a cut should look like 5 days after it happens? im starting to think its infected.

Ive been using neosporin on it since it happens on Monday. I am going to try drying it out.
jenks - 06/05/10 16:14
yeah, I think it looks more wet than infected. maybe a little tiny superficial infection, that would clear up with neosporin, (like everyone else said, haha, I'm so helpful). but nothing BAD.

But also- let it dry out. a THIN layer of neosporin, and maybe no bandaid. At least give a few hours a day to get some air.

This scrape looks lightly infected to me, but within the range of what Neosporin/Bactitracin can handle, I think.

Toss one or the other on it and give it a day, and keep it covered. Then if it doesn't start to clear up, I'd say it's time to see someone about it.

Is it warm to touch?
iriesara - 06/04/10 16:05
In my experiences (and being very clumsy, I've hurt myself a lOT), it depends. Had you just showered or something? Because being wet for a while will definitely make the scab look gross like that. However, the redness around is a good indicator that it's infected. I'm sure 1000X you neosporined, but gravelly concrete can be pretty gross.
lilho - 06/04/10 16:01
that is so disgusting paul, and its looking infected for sure. if it doesn't go away, i would see the dr.

The worst part was picking the pavement parts out of my elbow and palm.

When this happens to me I buy 3 tubes of neosporin, One for home, One on me and another for work at my desk.
