Sure you can, but I would not suggest it as a scab has already formed, removing the old strips will most likely open it up again. You don't say how bad the laceration is, does it need a stitch or two??
You did not say if the tooth pick was yours or not.....Puncture wounds always hurt for awhile, especially in the foot.....If it is red and swollen you could have an infection, or a small piece of wood
Hi "G", You say that you had a shot 4 years ago....The rule of thumb was....You should get a tetanus shot every 10 years. From what I understand, they now say every 7 years now. You don't say how long
Hi Jaymee, the symptoms of infection, after what you describe would probably occur within about a few days to a week, if not treated, it would include fever, swelling, inflamation, pus filled sores, and
IF the bullet did not hit the bone,(flesh wound) she could faint that all depends on the person some people are stronger than others and can stand more pain. if it was deep in the muscle she would need
