Sore fingers

Dear Sir or Madam,

Yesterday I lightly cut my finger. Nothing serious, but today I wanted to wash my hands again before putting on a plaster. I dried my hands with one of those old air dryers. They have quite a high air pressure, so I wanted to ask if an air bubble can form in the wound and get into the bloodstream? This happened about 15 minutes ago.

Kind regards.

Dear inquirer, with such an action, your wound should not be harmed. Please make sure in general that the wound does not become infected, so no colored discharge develops and pulsating pain occurs. If that happens, you should seek medical attention. Regards, Welsch
