[|Human|] yesterday i cut my shin on a metal pipe and we think we saw the bone, although the cut isnt big approx 1 and a half inch and didnt bleed much we are sure we saw the bone, ive been told by a neighbour that the shape of the cut is called a tin can cut but im not sure if she was winding me up. it is swollen and bruised and feels numb, i also get a slight tingling feeling from the cut to my toes. ive bathed it with tcp, dryed it. applied savalon and put a pad on with a bandage to hold it. today i removed the dressing and it still looks like and feels like ive just done it. should i go to a&e or just carry on with the treatment im doing?
[|AI|]  Hi...1 1/2 inches cut over the leg is not major and noting to worry about. Normally the shin part is composed of tibia (shin-bone) covered by skin directly there is not much of subcutaneous (fat) tissue or muscles, so even a small cut will expose the bone and will not bleed. But injury with a metal pipe, it is advisable to take in tetanus toxic. Things to do. Take in tetanus toxic. Continue daily Chat Doctor. Keep the wound clean and
