Seeking Opinion On Injury Should I go to the doc? NSFW
So I'm tying a fishing knot and mi hook goes on my leg so I pushed the barb out and snniped it but the pliers had some dirt on and I'm scared imma get tetanus. The hook was fresh and never used and I didn't see the dirt entering the wound and I put some alcohol on it. I told my mom and she said I'll be fine. I am vacinated too(8years).

galleryThis dead toe has been dead for quite a while and it did get worse recently (turn the whole toe purple) but everyone was saying to simply wait for it to all off but then I noticed that there’s more discoloration now which I find concerning. Earlier, I stubbed it pretty badly on the bed frame and it started bleeding and is extremely painful right now. I’m worried if I should get this checked already or if it’s okay to simply wait for it to fall off (which it hasn’t for months). It’s like kinda moist and sticky from the blood I think. I don’t have the capacity right now to have it checked because it’s my midterms and I need to study but I also have no idea how severe this is.
Is this infected or is this normal for a dead toe that’s about to fall off.
Please help 😓 What should I do?
