This week I cut my hand with a saw by accident in college. I cut it quite deep, I washed the saw dust out of it straight away and it got bandaged up by a first aider at the college.
But obviously, being a man, as soon as I got out of college I ripped the bandage off. Now 2 days later (if you have just eaten I apolagise in advice and advise you to switch to another question!) it's scabbed over, but is constantly pussing out with yellow stuff.
The skin around the cut is swollen and quite red, it hurts a bit but not  much.

Obviously it's infected but what do I do to clear it up? Dont say go to the doctor/hospital because I will just ignore you... Being a man.
Right - Better see the bloody doctor on Monday then - B***ucks.
redbird - I'm sure you could've answered my question without calling me stupid.

bathe it in salt water to help stop the infection, and keep it covered!
