A member asked:
Punctured head with sharp object 3days ago., broke skin, swelling gone down. peroxide. still hurts to touch , move forehead. is it infected?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Not infected: If the swelling gone down is not infected. This pain that you have is considered "normal" and physiologic and is associated with an inflammatory response that is part of the healing process. In normal pain, the pain usually disappears when healing is complete. Wait about 2 weeks or so.
