The steri-strips are holding the laceration together..don't take them off!\n  Steri strips will help you to heal properly and with much less of a scar.\n  I suggest you wait otherwise you could cause the laceration to reopen or you could get it infected.\n  Steri strips or not...Vain or not....How would you like to have a ugly scar and or part of your nose gone due to infection.\n  I would not like the brusing etc but I would hate a ugly scar worse.

a day or 2\n\nbut you can help avoid that when they put a piece of cotton on it, and say hold this, while they get a bandaid ready ... they told me once to hold it on there tightly, helps not bruise as much, always seems to work.

First assess the damage.  Is it just a little red mark?  Put it under cool running water, put a moist bandage over it (loosely), and that's all that's needed.  If you have aloe vera or burn spray, use that before bandaging.\n\nIs it blistered and/or seeping fluids?  Or is it white or charred?  Put a dry bandage over it (again, not tight) and take her to the ER.  If you aren't old enough to drive and there's no one who can drive you, then call an ambulance.

I am assuming you have already had it set and in a cast.  Then the best thing you can do is follow your doctors orders.  You need to rest it and keep it elevated.  Take a good multi vitamin to help w/ healing.  You are looking at about 6 weeks of recovery time here.  Remember, rest and elevation and follow doctors orders.  You cant go wrong there.

Immediately after you bump something hard enough to cause a bruise, and for the first day or two after you get one, you should apply cold compresses to prevent swelling. After that, try applying warm compresses to help the absorption of blood. People who get bruises frequently may have vitamin deficiencies, including C, E, K and zinc. Try taking supplements if you get bruises often.  Some studies have shown that applying a cream containing vitamin K can help fade a bruise. Bruises normally take about 2 weeks to fade completely. Just wait, and wear longer sleeves if it bothers you.

After childbirth if there is a small laceration we suggest that you use a solution of betadine and water every time you go to the bathroom.  So put this solution in a squirt bottle and use it after you go to the bathroom and then just pat dry.  If it hurts try wearing a pantyliner with witch-hazel pads. If you get a fever or start to hurt worse call your Dr.

They can't be removed by toothpaste, combing, ice, or any of the other popular mythical methods. Hickeys are just bruises and will take about 3-7 days to disappear completely. Try wearing a scarf around your neck or a high necked shirt to cover, or choose a highly pigmented concealer and some matching powder that match your skintone to conceal them.

use scar cream. but normally it takes more than a month to clear it up.

If it's a puncture wound, get one right away.  Sometimes cuts and scratches do not require one, but it depends on what the item was that caused the wound.  See your doctor if you have any doubts.

ASAP before it rots the rest of your skull away and your face collapses in.\nAren't you in pain ? even if you're not, the damage an untreated abcess can do is monumental. bite bullet and go have it yanked. get a general anethesia (i had to).

I had that happen years ago. Out of desperation, I tried applying just a tiny bit of Blistex to it, and it relieved the pain and helped speed healing - the sore was gone within a couple days.

i have been a nurse for a long time. When i saw this question i was concerned for you. please see your dr. he will probably check for circulation problems or maybe you have a bacteria in the wound that the antibiotic won't kill. It should be cultured right away. This takes about 3 days to see any growth and to be able to determine what kind of bacteria is in the wound. Please look for red marks going up your leg. also check to see if the area is red and warm. if you see the red marks or it is red you should get to the e.r. Good luck. My guess is that you just need the right antibiotic. Good luck.

I've popped my left 8 times and my right about 7. If it's still within the first 48 hours of spreining it, do Ice and raise it for 20 min. on, 20 off for the first 48 hours. Then switch to heat ONLY. Keep it elivated. Maybe use an ace wrap for support if you need to get up for any reason. (ace wraps are those cloth-like bandages that have elastic in them ) GOod luck and see you walking fine in 7 to 10 days.

1. Lightly brush the spot with a stiff-bristled toothbrush. Doing this breaks up the blood clot and gets circulation going again.\n2. The redness will spread, but will be less obvious after about 15 minutes. After 15 minutes, make sure to cool it down with a bit of ice. Repeat if necessary.\n3. Finish off the small pink spot that remains with make up: put yellow eyeshadow or other eyeshadow that matches your skin tone, to the spot and cover the rest (with the hickey too) with concealer. No one will ever notice! \n\n\n* Sometimes if you add a bit of toothpaste to the brush, it will help clear up any redness faster.\n* In the future, get and give hickeys where they won't be easily found -- or don't get one at all! \n\nThings You'll Need\n\n* Toothbrush\n* eyeshadow of your skin tone\n* Concealer\n* Toothpaste (optional)

I know you're not supposed to, but pop it and then put some toothpaste on it before bed. It probably won't be gone, but it will be better than whitish green! Dab on a little (emphasis on a little) concealer before your date. Have fun!!

waxing, have your man or woman, put it on wait a few seconds, then hurry a Rip it off. Hurts for the longest time and it will feel like its bleeding but who cares right? you want that smooth frog look eh?

listen, r.i.c.e.  Rest, ice, compression and elevation the first 48 hours.  Then alternate heat and ice for 20 minutes each treatment, thereafter.  If continued swelling, ice and elevation necessary.
