When I arrived IN Mexico City and before I took my afternoon nap, I decided to do something about a cut on my index finger, kinda a paper cut, which I believe I did in Playa del Carmen or the last day of Tulum.
It was throbbing and pus was coming out. The problem is that it was a cut that went tangential to the finger so it formed a pocket that I couldn't clean out. I tried Listerine, soap, and anti-biotic but it just wouldn't heal. I need to get rid of the pocket.
Nothing was sharp enough to cut this so I had to peel it away with my fingers. It revealed a raw hole on the under layer of skin. I rinsed it in Listerine, and scrubbed it then put a glob of anti-biotic on it...By the end of the day it was fine and the redness was almost gone...
