Bubbley blood question!?!
Question: I posted this on the wrong thing...
I was on the phone and I jumped over my nephew chair. It's a kiddy spider man chair, but the back metal part was bent and the metal ripped my skin open The cut is about the size of a quarter. It's bleeding only a little now. I poured hp on it and it doesnt hurt much. it's bloody over the flesh but on the inside on the bottom there's bubbles. Not white from the hp but like clear/red bubbles. I'm freaked out! What's happening and what should i do?

this is nothing to worry about its the blood clotting factor,as long as you have cleaned it,and put a dry dressing on it,as you said there was metal sticking out,have you been covered for tetenus
these injections last every 10 yrs in the uk.if you are covered for this then you are fine.but if you are worried its always best to get it checked.also the metal ....is it clean metal ot slightly rusty,this is when the tetenus jab really covers you.
dont worry you will be fine.
don't worry about it, it is normal. really, its just the lymphatic fluid and blood collecting at the wound site
well i cant think of a reason for it to do that unless you punctured some vital organ, and from what you said i dont think thats the case. but you may need stitches?
The hp causes some of the bubbling. I would apply pressure on it with a clean gauze. Check to see if the blood is coming through. If so take a a gauze with hp and reapply not too tightly. If these subsides in a few hours. You are alright
Otherwise see a physician. Get Well, OK.
Don't just sit there staring! I've never heard of that happening. Call 1-800-445-3006, it's the NurseLine Services. If you can't, call go to myuhc.com. for right now use common sense:
Keep it clean
Keep it covered
Keep it elevated
Keep yourself calm
You also said it was metal that caused the wound, so remember to ask the nurse on the other end about if you should get a tetanus shot.
Good luck!
