What Causes Bleeding From Wound With Swelling?

i stepped on a tooth pick 2 weeks ago and went to E.R and there they cut my foot open ...only a small part and checked and found nothing was there but after a few days it hurt again and again i was cut open and nothing was found. This happened once more and yesterday the nurse told me the wound was dry and removed the dressing but later that night a bit of blood came out of the wound so i cleaned it and but some antibiotic cream ...some swelling is there .....what should i do?

Hello,
Welcome to healthcaremagic.
The problem you are facing is most probably due to infected wound which needs oral antibiotic as well as antiseptic cream to fully cure the wound. Otherwise it will keep bleeding and after a while pus discharge might even start from the site.

With medication it is also important that you keep the foot clean and dry and avoid closed shoes for a few days so that your foot is well ventilated. Clean the wound daily with iodine solution and have a clean fresh dressing one to 2 times daily. And once the wound has become dry then you can skip dressing the wound . Then just wash multiple times during the day.

Hopefully the wound will recover.

I hope the answer was helpful. In case of further assistance feel free to contact us in writing .
