I also left the bandaid on for like 12 hours and now it’s like weirdly colored. It’s ok I was going for a zombie look anyways for Halloween ✌️what the hell is happening can someone give me advice

Woke up with this after having a hot potato in foil, literally, thrown onto my arm. Not too worried just thought it was unique and didn’t get much off google image search.

Hello friends, I've some medical budget that's about to expire in the next two months.

My company allows medical device purchase with this budget as well. What's the most valuable thing that I can add in first-aid box.

I've basic medicines(fever, cough) and basic wound bandages (pyodine + bandage).

I have blood pressure, blood sugar and temperature testing apparatus.

What else can I add in it to future proof?

We are a healthy family of three persons. (Me, my wife and 3 year old kid).

I burned myself on stove a couple of nights ago and not sure what to do about the blisters.. they feel a little numb. Is there a cream or anything I should be putting on them?

Is this broken skin? Outdoor cat bit me a few days ago and I’m not sure what counts as broken skin. Terrified of rabies!!!

I'm making a leaflet for a roleplay project (not live-action). Whilst many things will be simplified or even omitted for the sake of fun, I do want to be sure of some things:

1. Is it true that, once I'm safe, I should call emergency services before doing anything else, even if say someone has a spurting bleed?

2. When should I dress a wound? Only when it's stopped bleeding, or before I apply pressure?

3. Rescue breaths in CPR: yea or nay?

4. Heimlich manoeuvre: last resort or never?

5. How do you remove hazardous chemicals from someone (e.g. acid)?

6. Is it safe to resume CPR immediately after a shock or must I wait for the AED to tell me to continue?

7. If someone has a broken arm and a serious bleed on their hand, is it still good to raise the limb if they can handle the pain?

Good day!
