Bleeding from a scallop tooth puncture is generally not toxic and may lead to localized infection.
1. Bleeding from a scallop tooth will react differently depending on the individual’s immune system. Some will only be red and swollen, others will have itchy skin. If necessary, squeeze out as much blood as possible, then rinse with saline and disinfect with iodophor.
2. If there is significant redness, swelling, warmth, pain, and a fluctuating sensation, an abscess may form. Considering the possibility of bacterial infection at this point, hospitalization is recommended. Antibacterial treatment with antibiotics such as cephalosporin and metronidazole may be necessary, and tetanus antitoxin injections can be used to prevent tetanus disease.
