I sprained my ankle and am now wearing a cast. I am dumb enough to stick a metal hanging rod under my cast to attempt to remove an enormous itch. My mother has repeatedly said that I will tear my skin up, but I obviously didn t listen to her because now there is a big red blob that stings constantly and I feel like I m being stabbed. Please help.
Dear patient You should immediately visit orthopedic surgeon nearby and cast should be removed stat. There is infection inside cast, and it may spread rapidly if cast is not removed. If there is ulcer on the skin temporary slab needs to be given with daily Chat Doctor.  Keep limb elevated and avoid weight-bearing. Once wound is healed completely and if pain persists then cast may be reapplied. Never do such foolish things again.
