Dead skin from a cut
I have a circular cut on the back of ancle, 90% of the skin was cut of but it's still attached. I have swelling and pain is continuing. The attached skin is blackened apart from a small part which still bleeds.
I'm wondering if I should go to a doctor/hospital to get it cut off or leave it to die and drop off. I'm mainly worried it may cause infection if left as it happened Monday
