Xg3 Finger Install and Healing report

Yeah, that does not sound good… I believe one of the major concerns is the germs that were on the outside of your skin, during the initial puncture, vs what was actually inside of your flesh. There’s also the bacteria on your fingers, the table if you set it down, etc. Many, many opportunities for contamination.

I’m not an expert on the topic (many members here would have more knowledge), but I would keep a VERY close look at it over the coming days and weeks, and be prepared for removal if infection looks likely.

Recommend procedure would have been soap + water, then a soak for 48 hours in chlorhexidine, as amal says here:

I get the “in the moment” thing, but that still heavily worries me, I’ve never heard of anyone using bactine on an implant install either.

EDIT: I would also be worried about anything from the bactine still remaining on the implant during implantation, whether it’s the antiseptic, the lidocaine, or any additives, since it’s a spray.
