Patient's Query
Hi doctor,
I am a 23 year old man. I am working in a hospital cafeteria. When I was washing a cart for coffee, I saw a red spot. I freaked and I became worried. It was blood and I have a few cuts on my hand. I did not wear gloves. Now any time I see red color I have phobia. I am worried whether I will develop some infection. Please help.
Hi,
Welcome to icliniq.com.
Do not worry. Not all red spots are blood; it might just be a phobia. If so handle with care. Do not touch directly if you have open wound. Just dried wounds or cracks in hands will not transmit disease. Just keep a watch. If you develop any fever or other symptoms, then do inform me.
I hope this has helped you.
Thank you.
