Numbness, tingling in wound area.
Dear doctors
I had an accident on 13th July . My left hand ring finger fractured . On 15th finger was operated , and k wire was put inside finger.
On 20th my dressing changed . It looks good from outside. And doctor not moved or rotate the injured finger and just same dressing done. Yesterday I felt very itchy back side of palm. There were many water boils so I opened dressing at home carefully and wht I found little blood over bandage when stitches are there. So I put some ointment on skin and again redressed but little numbness tingling I am finding arround on injured finger and other fingers.
But no pain and injured finger is in fixed position even not tried to rotate.
Why blood ooze it means infection. New skin is formed over finger.
