What Is The Effect Of Scratch From Rusted Iron Piece?
i had a small scratch in a train rusted iron piece in the toilet i washed it immediately there was no blood. when i sat it just hit hard on the buttocks place. no swelling or pain no redness. after a month sometimes when i sit there is a pain might be muscular but if i press the muscle there is no pain. only in certain angles if i sit there is a deep pain. is it anything serious.
Hello and welcome to HCM, I understand from your history that you had scratch from rusted metal but no bleeding. Injury from metal has high risk of transmitting tetanus. Thus metal injuries should be followed by tetanus toxoid infection. The site should be thoroughly cleaned with water and soap. However, absence of blood rules out any deep injury. Trauma to the buttock could have caused muscular injury. The muscle injury could be responsible for the muscular pain. Muscle pain required hot fomentation and muscle relaxants. You can consult your primary healthcare provider for clinical assessment and thus further management.
Thanks and take care Dr Shailja P Wahal
