Just checking, probably nothing to worry about - but I bashed my thumb with a hammer over a week ago, which split the end of the thumb.
It bled a bit but not much tbh considering it was pretty deep.
The bit of skin on the top obviously died and came off bit by bit, so there's a missing piece, that's Ok - but in the middle is a deeper cut, that's very small and doesn't appear to be closing up.
It's very sore to touch and throbs sometimes but the skin around it isn't red or swollen. It just looks like a small red cut.
Should I be doing something with it - I kept a dressing on it for the first few days as it was so painful, but since then it is bearable and has been open to the air.
Just wondered if it ought to have healed by now?
Thankyou
