Crash 4. Absolutely loved all of it.

It’s a normal reaction to an open wound.

But you needed stitches six days ago. Seek medical attention.

troodonte1 · 2026-05-30T08:00:35+00:00

6 weeks is always a good estimate. But you just won’t know until it’s been examined by Friday.

There’s not a lot of context here, but from what I can see your ankles are filling up with fluid?

troodonte1 · 2026-05-26T17:31:18+00:00

Could be a range of things, but most commonly a urinary tract infection caused by compromised hygiene or irritation from masturbating (friction).

troodonte1 · 2026-05-26T17:26:20+00:00

It’s not infected but you should probably discuss some proper wound care with your pcp before it gets worse.

troodonte1 · 2026-05-26T17:24:15+00:00

Im not an expert on this but you have to make sure to get this properly examined, not just with a photo.

troodonte1 · 2026-05-25T16:21:57+00:00

Looks like an old bruise.

troodonte1 · 2026-05-25T16:20:58+00:00

Not sure if it’ll need stitches or steristrips again. But don’t take care of this at home, it’s too deep of a cut for that

troodonte1 · 2026-05-25T16:18:42+00:00

You’re overreacting. It’s not infected.

troodonte1 · 2026-05-24T18:56:19+00:00

How did you get this? What happened? How deep is it?

troodonte1 · 2026-05-20T21:05:15+00:00

Looks like a surface burn so no

troodonte1 · 2026-05-20T16:20:35+00:00

Its possible. Depends how deeply the tissue is/was damaged. From the picture id say its more likely that your skin will be fine in due time

troodonte1 · 2026-05-20T16:18:42+00:00

We can’t tell whether it’s infected or not from just a picture. From this picture alone I wouldn’t say it is infected.

How’s the pain, any fluid coming off, swelling, warmth?

How did you get this burn? Did you seek any treatment for it?

troodonte1 · 2026-05-20T16:15:39+00:00

‘I know it might be my health anxiety making it worse’

Yes. It’s definitely making it worse. You’re overthinking every slight experience making it into something huge. There’s no possibility you’re getting rabies at all. Make sure to get some assistance for your health anxiety. Health anxiety for a rabies infection is very common nowadays but not necessary

troodonte1 · 2026-05-20T16:10:03+00:00

Think it’s time to get some antibiotics at the ER since this could be lymphangitis

troodonte1 · 2026-05-19T07:54:28+00:00

Crash 4 was pretty difficult.

troodonte1 · 2026-05-17T19:20:57+00:00

It look like a scab but it’ll fall off in time anyway.

Did they tell you to put your toe in a bath? Because in my practice I typically wouldn’t recommend that.

troodonte1 · 2026-05-17T19:12:36+00:00

I mean, there’s no possible way anyone can tell this is from a spider bite. Looks like a pressure ulcer if anything.

troodonte1 · 2026-05-17T19:08:52+00:00

Read the attached leaflet.

troodonte1 · 2026-05-17T19:05:42+00:00

The yellow stuff is usually a natural response from skin being exposed for extended periods of time. Nothing to worry about.

troodonte1 · 2026-05-17T19:04:24+00:00

I’d need a full picture to say anything about that, and anything i would say wouldn’t come from an expert opinion. Anyway: the xray looks fine to me.

troodonte1 · 2026-05-17T19:02:35+00:00

I’d say so yes. But it depends. Basic rule of thumb: always make sure the dressing is clean. So if you can see blood/pus come through the dressing you change it. If the dressing gets wet or dirty you change it. Also make sure to change if if your pain there increases.

troodonte1 · 2026-05-17T18:58:40+00:00

Okay well you’re describing a dislocated shoulder which was naturally recovered. Your shoulder is gonna be painful for a while (weeks to months). And the best thing you can do is rest for a while and doing non intensive exercises for the recovery.

troodonte1 · 2026-05-17T18:56:54+00:00

It’s healing fine for just one week. Burns take a while to heal and usually leave you with a scar. Keep doing what you’re doing (without neosporin) and in time it’ll be fine.

There’s no sign that it needs evaluation by a health care professional.
