Docs, what eating a hole in my hand?

[gumbl3]

You're kind of along the lines of what the clinic is going to do. Drain, antiseptic, pack, antibiotics.

Personally I'd keep cleaning it up and roll with it a couple days

You'll go blind if you keep it up!

Or, at least switch hands!

Looks to me like you solved the problem.

I don't give medical advice but I had something very similar about a week ago. I cut the top layer of skin off and poked around in the hole with my dirty pocket knife looking for a sticker or some other bit of foreign material. I did not find anything visible but it has now healed.

You sure you're not a Dr because this sounds like good advice to me

Couple of glasses of whiskey and you'll be fine

If it is staff you're gonna need something a lot stouter than home medications. Picc line is required to keep it from moving through the blood stream.

Spray some brake cleaner in it or some gas thats what i do at work

A soak in hot water with Epson salt can't hurt. The warm water is going to increase blood flow and speed healing. my 2 cents!

Looks like the same kind of sore as on the Guinea worm thread to me

Not a doc, but have had some sores very similar in the past, most came from getting a piece of metal shaving in there. Usually cleared mine up about the same way.

Just messing around earlier. I had a metal shaving in my palm from drilling holes in some plate. After a day or so my hand loooked very similar. I just dug around in there for abnormalies and healed up after a week or so.

This ^^^^^. Working in a machine shop, I get these on a regular basis. It doesn't take much of a shaving and sometimes you can't see it even when it comes out. I usually dig them out with an X-acto knife.

I've had staph and it is NO fun. But when I got it I had swelling with pain in and around the area and had slight fever.
