Question: I accidentally cut open the inside of my thumb, below the knuckle!. What to expect!?
I ran it under cold water as there was a lot of bleeding then applied 3 band aids, as tight as possible!. That was yesterday!. Now it is sore!. Will it heal by itself!?Www@Answer-Health@Com


Answers:
Yes, unless there is an infection, it will take longer to heal!.Www@Answer-Health@Com

If it is a deep cut, then you need to go see your doctor, or to a good clinic!. Let them access the need for it!. Band-aids may not be enough!. You may need to wrap it with small gauze pads and tape it around the thumb!. Keep it clean with mild soap and water!. And, use antibiotic ointment!. But, if it doesn't get better in a few days, please see about it!.Www@Answer-Health@Com
