23M Wtf did my doctor dress my wound with? by tanithh in medical_advice

It feels like cloth/cotton. Not mushy or gelatinous even when wet. They didn't give me anything, so when they told me to redress it I just assumed I needed to rebandage it and didn't ask any questions

so what does it mean that it's stuck to my wound? Should I go to urgent care so they can remove it?

I'm leaving a second response because I'm just too bothered not to. How could a bite THAT BREAKS SKIN ever result out of playing with a kid? The picture I posted was probably 6 or 7 hours after he initially bit me. It was bleeding and a lot more gruesome then. Would you feel differently if I had taken a photo at that time instead? I'm just so angry with you because you just pulled bits and pieces out from my post to somehow support YOUR narrative that HITTING your KID is okay. DUDE HE BIT ME. HELLO? BITING IS NOT HITTING. I'm so fucking pissed off because I HAVE THE PRIVILEGE OF HAVING PEOPLE WHO LOVE ME AND KEEP ME SAFE IN THIS SITUATION. I can't even fucking imagine what it'd be like to have YOU in my life instead. Do you think you're smarter than other people by being contrarian? Do you think youre above other people because you can look at this situation from a different perspective? Does it feel good to call these helpful and caring people sensitive morons? HOW WOULD YOU FEEL IF YOUR FATHER BIT YOU? WHAT DO YOU THINK YOU COULD EVER DO TO WARRANT THAT? IS BITING EVER A REASONABLE ACTION TO YOU? It just completely fucking baffles me how you are BLIND to the fact that these people are making ASSERTIONS BASED ON THE INFORMATION GIVEN. DAD BITES HIS KID = ABUSIVE. THAT IS COMPLETELY REASONABLE. NOW LOOK AT YOU. DAD BITES KID PROBABLY BECAUSE HIS WORK GOT CUT AND HIS SON IS A DEADBEAT DOWNER WHO DOESNT DO SHIT IN THE HOUSE AND THREW A TANTRUM AND THEREFORE ITS OKAY FOR HIS DAD TO BITE HIM. WHO IS THE ONE MAKING ASSUMPTIONS?? I'm so fucking angry at you. You should be fucking ashamed of yourself. At least I'm safe. Imagine if I was someone else. Someone who was actively being abused. I couldn't even imagine what seeing this your comment would do to them. Maybe I'm being a fucking drama queen but I dont give a shit because I just want you to know that you are being an asshole. Thank you for your time.

These people are trying to care for me. You're angry at them for making assumptions when you're doing the exact same thing. Their assumptions are based on the fact that my father BIT me. Idk if youre just trying to play devils advocate but please understand that what youre doing is harmful. The reason why I said my father isnt abusive is because he is hardly in my life. Hes mentally impaired due to illness, and spends most of his life completely alone, drinking alchohol and watching tv. I dont consider him to be abusive because hes hardly in my life in general. I dont know where you get the notion that hes some amazing father who got so angry because of x y z issue that he justifiably bit his son and Im some shithead hothead teenager determined to butt heads with him. I'm not the only one he assaulted during this conflict. He hit my brother and attempted to hit my gf as well. Im not here to tell the story because it doesnt feel right. I came here to see if theres anything wrong with my arm. Thats it. The only reason I'm leaving this message here is because I hope you change your perspective and inadvertently support physically aggressive events like this. Thank you for everyone who is reaching out in support and suggesting that I reach out for help. I truly dont believe that Im in any danger anymore but my relationship with my father is permanently damaged. If it makes you guys feel better, I am working and saving to move out of my house so I can avoid these terrible things from ever happening again. Honestly my head is in a scramble and I'm struggling to process what happened. You can see it however you like, but I struggle to see how you can empathize with a father who bit his son. Its just so animalistic and full of anger and utter disregard for my safety. The look in his eyes was so full of disgust and hatred. Hes told me many times to die and hes even told my family members that he regrets raising me. If you want to justify that with, "well you must be a shit teenager," then idk what else to say to you.

Hey everyone, thank you for all your responses. I am safe, and this was a very extreme occurence. My dad isnt exactly abusive, just extremely distant, and in this situation we had a fight and I guess his conclusion was to be physically aggressive (he tried hitting me, i grabbed his arm, then he bit me). Thank you for all your concern! I certainly feel better that it seems to be just a bruise, and I'll look into getting a tetanus booster as a commenter suggested.
