askye, I started to post earlier that I had a cat with allergies who would get tiny hives and lose fur. In her case, it was seasonal, and usually one cortisone shot a year would do it. Rose's could be something like that.
Lorne: Once the word spreads you beat up an innocent old man, well, the truly terrible will think twice before going toe-to-toe with our Avenging Angel. Spike: Yes. The geriatric community will be soiling their nappies when they hear you're on the case. Bravo.

So, I fell this morning. I ripped up the palm of my right hand pretty damn good. Part of it is still bleeding. Or possibly it's puss (that would be bad, right?).
Why is it always something?

Now tagless for your comfort.
If it's clear, it's not puss, vw. It's just the plasma. Puss takes time to form after an infection. The liquid contains stuff that will help heal the wound and scab over. Just clean it with hydrogen peroxide and dab it with a little gauze pad. Keep it clean as possible.

OUCH!
I'm such a baby.

Don't make me get out the bubble wrap, vw.

OUCH!
Cut the hydrogen peroxide by half with water, it will make it less intense.

I couldn't find hydrogen peroxide, so I used isopropyl alcohol instead. I will survive.
I've got it re-bandaged. I'm going to have a former nurse look at it when I get to school, since the nurse from my doctor's office hasn't called back yet.

If there are cats coming out of your wound, it's definitely bad. I think you only get pus if it's infected, though.

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.

How did the cats get in there in the first place?

Ouch. Alcohol is worse that peroxide.
Because of my advanced klutziness, I have field-tested almost every bandage out there, and the ones you leave on such as Johnson & Johnson's Advanced Healing or Band-aid Active Flex/Advanced Healing are worth every dime of their inflated price. Cuts heal literally days faster with less scarring, and usually one bandage will do it. They're also exciting to me because I am not allergic to whatever adhesive they use that keeps the bandage on for days. Most adhesives leave neat, bandage-shaped rashes.
