I scraped my knee yesterday and I wasn't able to clean it immediately, now there are pieces of dirt from the gritty road stuck on my wound.. I rinsed it under water for 10 minutes and tried to picked it off but the very tiny pieces wouldn't come off.. I want to ask will my wound be infected if the dirt isn't cleared out even if I've cleaned it?
Its a Saturday and this doesn't seem to be serious enough for me to go A&E and wait 3 hours ...
thanks

or:I think you could use tweezers to pluck it out or Use anisthetic wipes or wet tissue to rub the dirt offIf you are still worried and it is still there then you should tell your parents and go to the doctor (a and e is a little extreme)
