Cement burns

[Big A.T]

I accidently got some wet cement on the tips of my fingers and it clearly got into small cuts. The burns are small (but very painful!) and seem to be clearing up slowly.

As usual I went onto the web and it says that it can be quite a problem. I don't wish to waste my doctor's time if it is going to clear up without a fuss but I was wondering if I should get them checked out.

Yeah, def get it checked out if it's concerning you and don't let the doc make you feel bad even if it does turn out not to be anything to worry about!

Can be a very serious problem including amputation. This may help

Thanks. They seem to be healing nicely now after all that but I was concerned in case there was any long term problems that may be under the surface. Hopefully as it was very short exposure it will be okay.
