Suggest Treatment For Skin Cut On Finger
My 5 yr old son cut his right inner pinky on a metal object, he sliced about 1 long and it looks deep.... We put presser on it to stop the bleeding and put a non sting medical kit disinfectant wipe over it and put neosporin over that. I asked him to bend his finger and he can and he stopped crying.... It is lightly wrapped in bandaids and then gauze and bandaids over that. He has all his regular shots thoughout the years. What should be my next step? Can he wait until morning to go see the doctor?

Hi,
As bleeding is stopped you can wait till morning and in the morning consult your doctor and get examined.
If you think wound is big and deep, go to ER as he might require stitches.
Ok and take care.
