I was shaving my legs with a Remington ladies wet/dry shaver. I finished the right leg and went to the left leg. Suddenly, I felt this awful pain and both of my legs started bleeding. It took me awhile for the bleed to stop and my legs burned with heat. I looked at the razor and the protective screening over the razor blades was torn and cut my legs. I went to the emergency room and the doctor stated I had an infected wound to the right leg. They gave me instructions on how to care for an acute wound.
I have numerous scratches on both legs. My right leg/ankle is swollen with fluid twice the size of my left leg. It is hot and painful. I am on Sulfameth/Trimethoprim 800/160 tabs 2xdaily for 10 days. I fear severe scarring. I have photos of my legs and the broken screening on my razor. Please advise what I should do.
