What Medication Is Suggested For Cut And Excess Bleeding On Little Finger?
Hello, I am 23 year old pizza delivery driver who cut his finger about 5 days ago. It was on my pinky finger and bleed a lot. The bleeding stopped and there was barely any pain so I did not see the doctor. Anyways, 5 days later, the cut itself is black inside the cut. I think it is dried blood that I cannot clean out. The cut is not oozing puss or in any pain (unless i put pressure on the wound then there is slight pain.) Should I see a doctor or just continue cleaning the wound and let it heal naturally?

Hello,
The dried blood is normal after the cut. I suggest to clean the cut with hydrogen peroxide and cover it with Neosporin cream to prevent an infection.
In case of pain, you can use anti-inflammatory medications such as Acetaminophen to relieve it.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
Take care
