Urgent!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!?!
Question:
Urgent!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!...
i just accidentally scratched my scab off of a bug bite! it bled for 2 or 3 seconds, and now it's stopped because i put some pressure on it...but now, it's lower than the other surfaces of my skin, and it's white (with some blood in it)
is it bad?
to I need to put something like Desowen or what?
Answers:
I doubt you should be too concerned. The white is probably just pus, or white blood cells, that are protecting your body from infection. You may also weep, or have a clear liquid ooze from the scab, but this normal too. It you do have weeping, and it doesn't stop, you may have impetigo and need to use anti-bacterial soap like Dial. But this is just in case.
