Cut too off finger

[cleo333]

Hi any advice . Partner has cut tip off finger what would you dress it with ?

If it is completely off - put it on ice and get to A&E- hanging off - bandage/ice & A&E

Go to a and e with the tip of his finger.

Omg! Get to A&E ASAP!! And ice the finger tip.

A and e!!!!!!!!!!!!

How much of the tip are you talking about?

Basically just skinned it then not much anyone can do other than clean and put a non stick dressing on. Taken a chunk off and you need to get to A&E for a proper look and either reattachment or stitching.

My dad cut off the tips of 3 fingers on his right hand with a table saw twice. First time they re-attached, second time they stitched up the tip just below where the nail bed should have been.

Thanks all , it's stopping bleeding now and not as bad as looked initially but still grim . Can't be stitched or found as it's in the veg yuk

I think you’re supposed to put it in milk. And get to A&E.
Scratch that. I just googled it. Not milk. Ice.

I’d be going to A&E. You can have it cleaned and checked and referred for further care if needed.

Why can't you find it in the veg?!

My mum did this decades ago. She had to have a skin graft. It’s a&e

Depending on how much, there isn't much they can do, but it should be properly dressed- they can probably do that at triage

Many decades ago this happened to my grandad and he sellotaped it back on and it worked 🤢

Its 2023. Go to the hospital.

If it's just the skin I wouldn't be too concerned but if it's the tip through to the bone then you need A&E!

I have had a partially severed fingertip (hanging by a tiny flap of skin) with a complete fracture and nearly lost it after my dog bit it off. He took a chunk out of the side too which he ate but by some miracle they managed to save my fingertip although I have a very interesting scar and no feeling in it. I had three days in hospital but that was mostly cos it was a dog bite and I had to have iv antibiotics.

Definitely go to the hospital

You need it checked in case you have damaged deeper tissues and cleaned to prevent infection.
