Hi today I was working on a roof and a old nail tack went into my wrist, I had to pull it out. It was bleeding for a while but seemed ok. Should I be worried and do I need a jab, its slightly tender where it pierced my skin. Anymore to the left think it may of been more dangerous.. Are the any side affect too
Hello, Thank you for posting st Chat Doctor. Any external injuries especially with metallic objects should never be neglected. I would advise you to visit the nearest doctor and get a shot of tetanus injection. Also, gr would advise short course of antibiotic tablets with some analgesics. Apply antibiotic cream containing mupirocin twice a day. Hope this will take care of your query. Thank you Chat Doctor.
