a cut on my foot has turned black

"Necrotic" just means dead, so one would think that yes, this is possible.  More likely you are looking at trapped dried blood, or a perticularly nasty bruise.  What were you cut with? It could also be infected with something nasty.  \n\nIf you have no feeling in it, you might think about seeing a doctor, but if it is complaining, it's probably healing.

ice,  elevate your hand and watch it...if it just happenned you have to expect swelling...if the injury happened a few days ago u should get it looked at in case it has a clot   and the ice should b on for first 24 hrs,  like a half hour at a time every 2 hrs,  then warm soaks next couple days   the point is to increase the circulation to reabsorb the blood...u broke blood vessels in there

IF you have streaks that are darker/lighter running up your ankle, that is a sure sign of bacterial infection. Bug/spider bites can give a serious infection. Sounds as if you may have brown recluse spiders in your home. Get to a doctor immediately...this is nothing to play around with. Make sure before you put your shoes on that you shake them out very well...bang them on the floor, etc.  Some spiders, including recluse and black widows, love shoes to build webs in.

cut your foot off with a hacksaw and put it in a kooler with some ice.  bring it to the hospital and tell them your foot hurts.

dont peel anything off!!\n1. wash it with water and soap if u can\n2. put Neosporin or other antibiotic ointment on it\n3. put on bandage or band-aid\n4.elevate your foot for a little while (put it on a pillow while u sit)\n\n*optional: instead of washing it you could put hydrogen peroxide (a disinfectant) on it if you've got some*\n\nit will be ok, no big deal

Yes, you need to see a doctor. The nail is dead and you may infect your toe if you are not careful. Do not dig at it you might cause further damage

Oh no!, that really sucks! But, I think you know what to do already. Go see a doctor before it heals so he can put it back in place. If you are worried, got to the emergency room at your nearest hospital. Good Luck! And keep your head back from that lil rascal!

try using a flat iron in a low setting and pressing tissue paper between the flat iron and your shoes, the heated butter will go to the heated tissue, drying up the dark spots in the process.

If you haven't changed your shoes anytime recently (which might account for this discomfort) it's possible you're having an allergic reaction.  Since it seems to be localized to your instep, it's possible you've been bitten or stung by something.  Monitor the swelling, make sure it doesn't spread.  If it does, take an antihistamine (benadryl).\n\nChances are this is a bite of some kind if you haven't experienced an injury in this area.  Keep an eye on it and see the doctor, he/she may be able to give you something for it.

If you really have cut the skin there may come a scar and that will become less visible with time. If it's not a real cut, but more like a wrinkle you may have had an allergic response causing a rash

Hmm..that's really tough. I know what it's like not to have insurance and need to go to the doctor. It might only be scratched, but it might be a lot more serious than that. I would try first to call a nurse's hotline. There should be one in the yellow pages in your area. Talk to them about what happened and see what they say. If they tell you to go to the doctor, I'd do it. I think I would rather pay a $200 doctor bill than a $3000 hospital bill to sew up anything that that bone might have opened up inside of you on the way through your system.\n\nDefinitely call the nurse's hotline though. They help out a lot on any questions you might have.

better consult a professional about this...think that was not normal, maybe you got some cut/ lacerated   tissue down there...

First are you SURE it's blood. It could be something you ate, passing theough. Also, if you ate food like hard peanuts, this can cause such a temporary problem. If it happens for two or three days then you just need to ask your guardians ( parents?) to take you to the doctor. If you any pain then tell them now

I had one in the same place and the doctor finally had to go up with a "basket" and retrieve it.\n\nThe pain comes when they are moving because they are cutting along the way.  The blood comes when they are moving for the same reason.   When they stop, the pain hurts and the bleeding stops.\n\nDon't get your hopes up.  That sucker WILL come back to haunt you until you pass it or a doctor has to "go get it".  Good luck.  Pops

First assess the damage.  Is it just a little red mark?  Put it under cool running water, put a moist bandage over it (loosely), and that's all that's needed.  If you have aloe vera or burn spray, use that before bandaging.\n\nIs it blistered and/or seeping fluids?  Or is it white or charred?  Put a dry bandage over it (again, not tight) and take her to the ER.  If you aren't old enough to drive and there's no one who can drive you, then call an ambulance.

No, this sounds like an additional injury that was not previously noticed or is something new. They could be connected only by the means of that by working on your feet that particular foot/ankle is compensating for the other one now due to a shift caused by the previous injury. Get it looked at im sure it is fixable more easily that you think. physical therapy im sure will work wonders. Similar thing happened to me.
