Question:
I got a deep cut on the joint of my thumb 8 months ago, and it has started hurting. Should I be worried?
I got cut on a piece of broken glass, and it went in pretty deep. I did not recieve stitches, and it seemed to be healing fine. However, a few days ago, it started itching, and now it hurts a little bit. There is also a bump in the centre of the scar tissue that wasn't there before. Should I be concerned, or is it still healing, even though it has been 8 months? The scar is about one centimetre long, and fairly thick.

Just a thought, but could it be that there is still glass in the wound, and that it is trying to come to the surface?
Answers:
thats what i would say is possible. glass is still in there trying to come up. perhaps u should see a doc. dont want a staph infection
