Oh - that's nice to hear. My cuts are always getting infected "if" it has to do with saltwater. Even if I'm in the ocean and get a little nick it gets infected.

This is the one that hurts the most right now.



That red area I can't even touch and the entire first joint of that finger feels like pressure is building up in it.
