I have a cut bum, and had a poo. will itt get infected?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Stool & cut skin: Yes if not cleaned properly. You see, the skin is great protective barrier. If it is cut the bacteria can get into your body through circulation. Stool is big source of bacteria. So the bacteria and cut skin cause infection. Thanks.
