Members shared their experiences with getting wounds around the time of Rituxan infusions, with most reporting that wounds healed normally without infection, though a few noted that minor cuts or scrapes seemed to heal slightly slower in the first two weeks after treatment. Several members offered reassurance to someone worried about cat scratches received shortly after an infusion, advising them to monitor for increased redness or pain and contact their doctor if concerned. A recurring theme was that while vigilance is important, most members had not experienced serious complications from wounds occurring near their infusion dates.
