Suggest Remedy For Itchy Round Spot From Rusty Razor Injury
I think I cut my leg with a rusty razor and It's been about a week now and the spot where the nick was is now itchy and in a round shape. It itches and hurts. I scratched the scab off and got to squeezing on it and nothing came out. But I took the tweezers to it and pulled out like 3 tiny little balls of hard puss. It still looks as if there's a puss ball still in it.

Hi,
Welcome to HCM.
It seems like the cut you have had has got infected. I suggest you clean the wound thoroughly by an over the counter antiseptic and apply neosporin ointment over the wound twice daily. You can get a prescription for an antibiotic and a painkiller from a GP nearby you.
I also suggest a tetanus vaccine as a rusty razor was used.
Please avoid using unclean and rusty razors in the future.
Thanks.
