Nah, unless I do self surgery. I'm definitely against self-mutation! That's cranky & perverted.. I cringed at ER scenes.. Or bloody gory scenes..
But when it comes to cleaning my own wound, I'm alright to pour concentrated dettol over the wound, clean up the gooey pus, remove the dead skin cells, pour iodine or even 青草油 over the wound. (I have high threshold for pain)..
So two to three weeks ago, my itchy hands over scratched this spot at my right shin which either was bruised/ insect bitten or whatever till gasp the raw skin emerged.. ;( itchy finger teased the dead brown scab when it was about to heal .. Think the area was either infected by gasp perspiration from the runs.. The dirt.. The sunblock solution..
So this was the infected spot
Semi-treated
I must have contaminated it again cuz I was scratching along the edge.. :(
Last evening after my short run which I tried to incorporate intervals .. Realized that pus oozing again .. Bad! Pluck out the dead 'debris' with my dettol doused tweezer, dabbed off the blood n pus.. And without other ointment in stock, drip the 青草油 again.
Wasn't expecting pus stained plaster today cuz it wa supposedly cleaned.. Hence, dropped by the clinic just before it closed for the day.. And ended up being the subject for the two interns to showcase my wound and what ought be the diagnosis.
Doc even commented that I did a good job in cleaning the wound cuz not much of pus to show the interns. Lol. Not too bad rite? I ought to switch course of study in JC and continue in biology.. ;)
The 'cleaned' infected site.
The bandaged ;) which is good so that I won't be able to scratch!
Doc is sweet, offered to help me change dressing daily should I not be able to stand the sight of the pus n etc. Obviously I didn't tell her I plucked off the skin with tweezer etc.. It was quite gruesome actually. Perhaps nc16. Lol.
Oh well, it's gonna take longer for complete recovery due to the bony shin area..
Okay I need mittens! ;)
