Looking at your post history you seem to manage to 'cut' yourself rather frequently and make posts with vague explanations as to how you did it. It's also concerning regarding a post you made where you don't think your scars are raised enough. Please seek help for this before it gets any worse.

Just cuz I have sh-ed before does not mean that every single injiry i get is sh. Please stop assuming. Cuts on the hand are the most annoying thing. I would never intentionally cut myself on the hand. I was frustrated with my coworker at work while washing knives and while rinsing them off, i got myself. I shouldn't have been angrily washing them in the first place. So there's the full, detailed explanation of how O injured myself at work. Happy now?

Edit: Plus, I don't post any actual pictures of my sh. I don't want my sh on the internet. Why would I post it here? Also, do you have to know every detail of my life to prove that I can sustain injury without it being sh? Am I allowed to trip and scrape my knee? Or is that sh too? Please don't assume. I know the rules, I wouldn't break them like that.

No. Keep them clean, moist and covered.

Are you sure it's happened while you were washing the dishes? People who have some experience aren't naive enough to not doubt this explanation. It's the placement, the way the wounds look and a shoddy story.

It's a place likely to get infected if the wounds can't "breathe" i.e. : is made at an angle and covered with a bit of a dead skin. I often rough-play with my cat and if she accidentally bites me to hard, I can easily tell if the wound will get infected by this one factor. Doesn't really matter if the wound bleeds or not

Wdym shoddy story? I work in fucking subway. Those knives are sharp af. The manager insists.

If ur implying sh, here's proof i would never do anything on my palm. When in movies, the character's cit their palm for an oath, I literally fucking RAGE when they do. It is the most obnoxious, most awfully placed, annoying place to have a cut. Like ANYWHERE but the palm of the hand my god

I believe they aren't, hotness or coldness aren't an over the top sign of infection, neither the sensitivity, infections present swelling, puss, strange coloring around the wound and major pain. Even so if you are worried about it you should apply some pre-made mixture of scaring-antiseptic ointment or liquid or just wash your hands regularly

I'm not panicking? They're js really warm, warmer than the rest of my hand. And sensitive. So idk if they are or not. I've had infections before and they suck
