Last week I cut my finger pretty bad while cooking, and I've been nursing it slowly ever since. I thought maybe it was finally healed enough for me to stop wearing bandaids over it constantly, so I stopped last night. Well, about halfway through today I notice it's suddenly all purple and a little swollen, which it hasn't been at all until now. Figures the moment I stop keeping it covered with a bandaid it gets irritated by something. So I go into the bathroom closet to get some hydrogen peroxide, and I use the stuff and I don't feel a thing, not even a tingle, which is weird. So I looked at the expiration date, and its ****in 2013. Oof. I washed out the cut and grabbed some neosporin cream, the very cream I've been using on it with the bandaids this whole time, but something new occurred to me so I checked the date on that too and it was 2018. Nothing in our medicine cabinet is new, and apparently nothing has been replaced in two years. Yeesh.
So now my poor cut is just covered by a bandaid and nothing else to treat it. Hopefully it at least stays clean. It's been like 6 days and it still hasn't fully closed. probably because all of the medicine we have is severely out of date.
