How do I treat a cut between my pinky and fourth finger?!


Question: How do I treat a cut between my pinky and fourth finger!?
Whilst washing the dishes I cut myself on a broken glass between my fourth and last finger!. The cut is quite deep but the bleeding is subsiding now!. I have put on some Savalon cream (antibacterial) but I don't know what I should do now - whether to dress it or leave it!. The problem is that everytime I move my fingers it opens the wound up again!. Www@Answer-Health@Com


Answers:
If it's really deep then you should probably see someone about getting a stitch or two!.

Otherwise, there's a product called NewSkin that essentially functions as a flexible glue for cuts and scrapes that aren't easy to bandage!. You could try using that (it comes in a small bottle with a brush for application)!. I'll warn you that it does contain alcohol, and will sting like heck on a good-sized cut!.

Personally, I'd probably try taping those two fingers together for a day or two so that the area doesn't flex too much and it doesn't keep reopening!. If that won't handicap you too much, you might want to try that!.Www@Answer-Health@Com

Do you have arnica ointment at home by any chance!? Arnica has anti-inflammatory properties and you can find it I think at any pharmacy!.

and for further cuts, I truly recommend to have handy a natural oil named "Tea Tree with Rosaline" !.!.!. it can be used as an antiseptic and also helps to fight fungus and inflammations!. Good on burns, skin inflammations, cuts and abrasions, herpes, acne, warts, athlete
