I accidentally got stuck by a sharp pencil and it broke the skin and made me bleed. what should i do?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Pencil injury.: Rinse wound w clean water. Clean surrounding skin w soap & water on wash cloth. Apply antibiotic ointment. Initially cover w bandage until some healing has occurred. Change bandage when soiled/ wet or at least daily. Need tetanus shot if you haven't had one in last 10 years or don't know when you last had one.
