Answers:
You defiantly cut your finger in the wrong place!.You have nerve endings at the tip of your fingers!. Bandage it up so you have some padding their so if you hit it it will not be as bad as if you didn't have any thing at all at the tip of your finger!. I would also recommend
a metal brace like the one you would use if you had a broken
finger you want to protect the best that you can!.Www@Answer-Health@Com

I actually did this with a slicer once and went to the doc!. He said since there wasn't anything to stitch I just had to suck it up and cope!. It took a long time as the end had to literally grow and fill in the void!. It did fill in and looks normal but it was agonizing!. Put antibiotic ointment on it, hold in up above your heart when it is throbbing, and take aspirin as it reduces inflammation, helps with pain and thins the blood so it is not pounding in the end of your finger!. Sorry!.Www@Answer-Health@Com

you gotta live with it!. You cut into lots of nerves and advil is not going to help!. Wash the wound really well with soap and water and then apply Neosporin and a bandaid or you can apply new skin liquid skin adhesive (burns like bloody murder until dry but then seals the nerves and stops the pain unless you bump it into something!.Www@Answer-Health@Com

u have to use neosporin cream and sanitize it carefully and watch it for any sigh of infection where u would need to take antibiotic prescribed by ur docWww@Answer-Health@Com

Go to the hospital!.!.!.You should have gone there when you did it!.

But I Hope it get better!.
