Hello /fit/,

I was playing with my dog (small terrier) and it bit my thumbs nail. Hes backteeth went through my nail and made some nasty things to it. It's about six hours and the pain is getting worse, I don't know what to do with it. What should I do? I'm a finnfag and we have "free" healthcare, but I fucking hate hospitals. And does the trapped blood come out somehow?

Hospital. Now. Or enjoy a possible infection and losing your finger in the near future.

OP here, I'll show it to the schools nurse tomorrow and let's see what she thinks about it. If it's nothing special, I'm not going to the hospital and there's a good reason for it.

It's called "terveyskeskus" in finland and it means "health center", but we call it arvauskeskus" and that means "guess center". For an example my friend had a concussion and they gave her aspirin "come back tomorrow, if it still hurts."

Your thumb is your most important finger.

Enjoy not being able to grasp objects and wank with that hand.

although dogs mouths are cleaner than humans, you should see a doctor.

bites that break the skin almost always lead to really nasty infection.

amen, there are only six cases of a person surviving rabies once they've begun to show symptoms

and only one of them involved a person who didn't receive rabies-specific treatment

If it's not infected do the needle thing to drain it. (Actually you probably should do that so it doesn't get infected.) Then keep it protected and wrapped up for a while.

If you're a pussy you can wait until your whole nail fills up with blood and then a month later you'll have to rip off the nail. Enjoy!

only 1 case of someone surviving after the initial 24 hours. One of the worst survival rates for any condition if not treated really fast

This happened to me before.
I healed fine.
But since you got bit by a dog, maybe you should get it checked out just incase.

Put some sort of antiseptic cream on it. If the bruising on the thumb spreads, get ready for the thumbnail falling off.

Nothing much will happen afterwards, seriously. It's not even worth going to a doctor. However, getting the school nurse to see to it might be a good idea.

As long as rabies is treated within a WEEK, you're fine.

And if the dog hasn't shown symptoms yet, the odds of it transmitting rabies are virtually zero. Also its a house pet, odds of it having contracted rabies itself are low.

OP has a broken nail and a broken blood vessel under the nail. Should be cleaned and disinfected. Watch for signs of infection, which include pain, throbbing, swelling, and redness stretching away from the area.

99% chance you just need some time. If the pain is still there in 24-48 hours, see a doctor.

OP here, it's looking better now. Pain is virtually gone, but it's still touch sensitive, because I was fixing my car today and I had to use my thumb. Rabies isn't problem, because my dog is fine and finland is basically rabies free, as mentioned before.

I'm an EMT. Take 30 minutes out of your precious day and go to the damn hospital already just to get it checked out.

Why the fuck should he check it out?

His OWN dog bit him, not some stray nigger. He broke his nail, big deal. I dropped shit on my toe once, it hurt, got a dark spot, and went away in a week.
