HooBoy! Looks like it should be hurting a bunch! I hope you can get some real medical attention for that.

Nope, but I am an expert on cuts, scrapes and scars. Just using Neosporin and keeping it cleaned and bandage. Too late for stitches or anything else now. If it gets bad then I’ll go see a doctor
Oddly it doesn’t hurt unless it gets hit….joe

Having recently had minor surgery with 12 lovely stitches in my upper clavicle area, I've was told not to use Neosporin, but to clean with a combination of 7/8 water and 1/8 peroxide, then coat it with petroleum jelly then bandage to keep the wound and area around it soft, once the stitches were removed, it was highly recommended that I use "Mederma PM" intense overnight scar cream. As the surgeon who did the work is also a great friend, and I know where he lives , I took this as the best of the best in terms of post surgical care. 4 weeks out, and the scar is healing nicely.

Being a mechanic, I normally just wrap electrical tape or masking tape around cuts on my fingers and hands.

The only reason I use Neosporin it’s what I had at the moment.

I know all about clavicle surgery, had my right one 90% removed about 10yrs ago because of an infection to the joint. Had stitches in for 4 months, not pleasant at all.

The one thing I have going for me is the fact that I heal very very quickly. Whenever I have stitches or staples, they gotta come out in 10 days or I remove them because my skin grows over them. I figure by the end of the week it’ll be pretty much healed up. But I’m going to keep an eye on it and if it gets bad I’ll be off to the doctor….joe
