I cut my finger...?


Question:
Yesterday, I was opening a can of tuna and the top sliced straight into my nuckle (and hit the bone). I wrapped it up tight (without cleaning it) and later on I washed it and put triple antibiotic cream.
Today, my whole finger is a little bigger than normal and is VERY TENDER.
What should I do? Wait it out? Go to the Dr?
Thanks all!

Answers:
Its going to be swollen & tender for a couple of days. You did the right thing.
Watch out though for extreme redness and pain around the site as this could be a sign of infection esp. if the redness is spreading from the site into your hand and/or arm.
But I think you will be fine!
go to the doctor u will get better advice at a doctor than on YouQA.com
sounds like it is infected. go see a doctor as soon as you can.
If you are positive that it hit the bone you need stitches! The swelling will come with maybe the bandage being to tight or from an infection. I would go to the hospital!
If you cut it deeply you should go to the emergency room or your doctor. The finger is bigger due to the swelling and inflammation from the injury.

The important thing is when was your last tetanus shot? If you haven't had one in ten years you need to get one immediately!!
go see a doctor. Let this be a lesson. Clean the wound right away. Whats the point of cleaning the wound if it's already closed with germs inside.
jea, go to da DRZ...it could b infected =(
Don't worry when your figure was cut you should have apply turmeric which is an natural herb.Now this is not a big case don't worry just don't used your finger lot ,if its paining than deep it in cool water.After two three days it will be alright.
