Could Stamping On Rusty Nail Cause Sore Bumps Around The Area?
I stepped on a rusty nail about 3 months ago and recently I ve gotten sore bumps around where it happened. I did not see a doctor. Should I be concerned? They are not extremely painful but direct pressure on them and they are sore. There s about 7 of them
HI Well come to HCM I really appreciate your concern, this could be due to infection and this may be lymph node inflammation, in my opinion this can be tried with anti-inflammatory drug and best option would be Tab Ibuprofen 400 mg three times in day and if proved infection then antibiotic should be started, take care.
