dont midn him man, put him on ignore, he must be bored or something. people before have posted pics just like yours i think it should be fine. Its just a tiny cut lol but seems you shocked him for life now!
this is scary, vision issues that dont heal from high methemoglobinemia (same SN mechanism):
"While methemoglobinemia is a possible complication of chronic dapsone therapy or of acute overdose, serious adverse manifestations related to methemoglobin formation remain rare. We present an unusual case with severe ischemic retinal injury. A 30-year-old African woman presented with a sudden decrease of visual acuity secondary to retinal ischemia. She was chronically treated with dapsone (50 mg/day) for a dermatologic disease and denied any drug overdose. However, the determination of serum dapsone level on admission revealed a largely supratherapeutic concentration (20,044 μg/ml compared with 1-3.5 ± 0.5 μg/ml for therapeutic levels). The methemoglobin level at admission was 32% (sulfhemoglobin 1.2%), with hemoglobin level, 7.4 g/dl, schistocytes count, 2-5%, lactate dehydrogenase level, 580 IU/l, and haptoglobin level, < 10 mg/dl. The patient had both alpha-thalassemia and sickle cell trait. She was treated with methylene blue, vitamin C, and exchange transfusion. There was no improvement in visual symptoms over time. In a patient with supratherapeutic serum levels of dapsone, the severity of visual injury was associated with dapsone-induced methemoglobinemia and hemolysis, and perhaps also with some hematologic predisposing factors.
