Bandage on too tight for too long. Amputation?
Seeking Opinion On InjuryDoctor. This sub won't help my friend you need a qualified medical expert go now
Not a healthcare professional
The blue would probably be bruising, think about when you press your fingers together both the pressed areas turn white- in basic terms it has to do with the blood flow
What I would like to know is how soon after taking the bandage off did you take the photo?
I would visit a urgent care or GP in the next 1-2 days if: - there is altered or no sensation (you can’t feel it or consistently feels like pins and needles or if you hold your finger to a ice cube it takes ages to feel compared to others) - your motor function is impacted (can’t move your finger as good as before) - you’re in pain that disrupts your daily life
If none of the above are true I would monitor this for a few days to see how it develops, you could try
- gentle massage
- heat/warm
I might also add you could post this on r/askdocs or whatever the subreddit is called, might get more attention from a medical professional
Also- if any of those things are happening (loss of feeling etc) go straight to emergency, ignore what I said abt urgent care and Gp
One thing for certain, I can say this with 99.9% certainty, the green is not bacteria
Also- if any of those things are happening (loss of feeling etc) go straight to emergency, ignore what I said abt urgent care and Gp
..God😮💨 Thank you, also I took that photo last night, about 30 mins after taking the bandage off
