I have an open cut on my left inner thigh and I have no idea how to take care of it? Last night I showered then put hydrogen peroxide on it and when I woke up this morning there was blood on the open cut and it feels very sticky. Need to know whether to leave it open? Put something over it to cover it? Just need help to care for it.
Hello, Welcome to Chat Doctor, As you are having the open wound it should be managed properly otherwise it may be infected and lead to systemic infection and sepsis. If the tetanus injection was not taken properly you will be at risk of developing tetanus. For you wound I would suggest you to follow1. Clean the wound with normal saline and the Betadine.2. If In TT is not taken in last 5 years, take a shot of TT injection.3. Chat Doctor. 4. You need to take Tab Autoclave, 625\u00a0mg, twice daily for five days.5. Oral NAS IDs like tab ibuprofen can be taken if you are having pain. Thank you.
