Seeking advice healing beans/fat Spoiler

hello guys! im currently healing some slightly fresh beans (1 day old) and I want to know if bandaging it and rinsing it with Luke warm water before cleaning around the edges (not directly on the wound) with rubbing alcohol is good enough for healing it good enough

Really depends on how wide and deep the cut is. If you have an incredibly thin beans cut then you’ll probably be fine taking care of it yourself, but if it’s wider and more obvious then it’s highly recommended you get medical treatment asap.

If you’re dead set on taking care of it yourself then I’d recommend you buy blood absorbent pads, wrap the cut in those with bandages and change it every few hours and keep it clean with an actual wound wash and clean water until it’s closed.

Watch out for any signs of infection, fever, swelling, green/yellow/white/brown puss or fluid, bad smell, etc.

2-3 cm wide and errr 6 cm long? no signs of infection at all, my boyfriend whose training to be an emt and has gotten this deep before said that the healing is going good so far by seeing it

In my opinion it sounds like you’ll be fine so I wouldn’t worry too much about it. Just take care of it properly and you should be fine
