scratch on arm
Posted: 03-27-08 16:59pm

Well my brother scratch me on the arm and its about less then an inch long. and it isnt really that deep and it didnt poor blod or anything. I didnt notice it until like 2 hours later because it didnt bleed. Anyways the next day it began to have like some light purple lines or dots under it. I accidently peel the scab off of it when it was itchy and the next day it began to have a light yellow color surrounding the scratch adn udner the purple part. What is this? i really dont know Crying
or Very sad

it might just be a bruise. but in case that it is infected i would wash it out with hydrogen peroxide and put some neosporin on it and cover with a bandaid. i wouldnt worry about it too much
