Hello doctor! I want to ask, am I electrocuted in my finger to avoid 3 dangerous holes? Does arm numbness affect anything? Thank you doctor for helping me.

Answer
Hello! In your case, the three-position bulge is due to damage to the software due to the impact of electric current. In this case, you should go to the doctor immediately to assess the extent of skin damage so that you can be vaccinated against tetanus and antibiotics to prevent infection.
Your whole arm is numb due to the impact of electric current flowing along the arm, damaging the passing electrical organs, including nerves. Your numbness will gradually decrease over time. If the level of numbness does not decrease you should see the doctor again.
You can go to a hospital of Vinmec Health System to register for an examination and follow the advice of a specialist doctor.
Thank you for trusting and sharing the question “Is electric shock to the finger floating in the dangerous 3-hole room? Does arm numbness affect anything?” to Vinmec. Wishing you good health always.
