#1 Scrinoverlord Dec 29, 2008 7:24:20	So a week or so ago I abruptly fell down on the concrete after chasing my 13-year old shirtless cousin through our neighborhood (honestly, don't ask). Limping home, I discovered a rather nasty wound on my right foot, near my (USELESS) pinky toe...well, above it, actually. For a few days, the blood stopped, and the wound was just...there. Then a scab began to form, but guess what? Somehow, for some reason, I found it ripped open. I did not pick at it. AT ALL. So second scab forms. Last night, I walk up into my room, having finished a good game of EndWar, and what do you know? Scab is open again. I'm starting to get worried. I heard that if the scab keeps opening, scarring will occur and the wound will be permanent. Does anyone here with any...expert knowledge fill me in about this?
#2 Crackerjake Dec 29, 2008 7:39:46	Well, is the wound causing you any trouble? If not, don't worry about it. Unless it gets infected. THEN you can worry.
#3 Kobajagrande Dec 29, 2008 7:40:27	You know where you can find people with expert knowledge? We call such places "hospitals"
#4 Scrinoverlord Dec 29, 2008 7:53:19	Well I'd love to go to a hospital! ...for a scab? I mean, I don't think it's infected (take out the fact I walked shoeless on the beach when I visited Normandy), and it doesn't seem to hurt. But it just irritates me that the scab keeps breaking and I'm not sure if it's gonna keep on doing that and permanently scar or actually start to heal.
#5 goblin_pride Dec 29, 2008 12:14:47	Is it seeping clear fluid or bloody? Is there any redness or swelling around the edges of the wound? How does it smell?
#6 stompie5 Dec 29, 2008 12:51:35	Scars are manly. Women love them. An example, I have this pink scar on my left hand, about one inch long, and this hot girl I work with asked, "how did you get that?" I responded by saying, "I have no idea." Nothing says, "I'm tough," like a scar.
#7 baneofelves Dec 29, 2008 14:52:53	Wow, really? I've got like...five. Maybe six. No idea how I got 'em. Hmm. I may just be able to use this to my advantage, though.
#8 The_White_Sorcerer Dec 29, 2008 15:00:48	I had a scar of sorts once. Burned my hand a bit while ironing, left a mark that stuck around for a few years. Also fell down one time and got these awesome marks that made me look like I was mauled by some giant predatory beast. They didn't scar though, would've been awesome if they did.

If I knew more, I might be able to help, but for now, I would suggest not moving your toes much because it will probably cause the scab to break. That way, the scab can heal properly.

Yup pretty much... walking is going to keep opening it. Just use some gauze and bandage it up so you don't have to worry about it.

#12 stompie5 Dec 30, 2008 11:01:32	Seriously, go for a scar. When you have it, you will feel so tough you will want to eat glass.
