Just A Very Rough Question To See If I Should
Just a very rough question to see if I should go in to the doctors to see if I need stitches, or if it sounds like I could take care of it at home.
A heater unit feel and sliced my finger while we were reinstalling it. Top part of the finger above the nail, not on the joint. The cut does open when the joint is moved, bleeding stops when closed but semi starts when moved.
Cut runs parallel to the finger, about 1/4 inch wide and 1/4 inch to a little less than 1/4 inch deep. I do not see bone or yellow fat. Only a little sore. I have it cleaned to what I could and bandaged.
