How to wrap tight a cut finger a child is picking on?

I cut my finger. how do i know if i cut a nerve, vein or need stitches?

  • hi, i just cut top of my middle finger slicing a grapefruit... it was dripping blood until i put on some pressure on it and i think the skin just attached back somehow but it was like bruised. i cleaned the wound with the rub alc and applied polysporin and bandaged up. my question is, how do i know if i cut like my nerve or a vein? i feel like if i cut my nerve, i wouldnt be able to feel my middle finger? and if i cut my vein, it would be pumping blood and will be able to see my bandage being soaked by blood? please help me i m kind of scared lol. Thanks!

    Your probably OK, but you never know... you could get an infection. If you can it's always best to seek professional medical attention.

If you cut a nerve you would had so much pain running through your spine you'd forget you cut yourself. if you cut a vein, you should have a slight blood loss, not a big one though. but no worries: with the care you put in healing this wound they shall have no trouble restoring to their original forms

My friend's mom cut of the whole tip of her finger off and you can literally see the skin part on the counter detached. You have nothing to worry about it's just a mental thing with how big the knife is or how it happens. I think your OK.

Girly girl!

there are no major veins in your fingers so you shouldn't be concerned about that and you did not cut a nerve, it's gonna hurt and be bruised for a little while until it heals

Here is a link: http://www.cafemom.com/answers/115262/I_cut_my_finger_with_a_knife_what_do_I_do It says: "ok take your finger and run it under warm water to help it rinse out and clot..the tie a yarn or something below where you were cut...hold pressure on the cut ..and keep it elevated above your heart......it should stop...if not u may need stitches......if that is the case..u can either chose to go to the dr and get stitched up...or may try the butterfly bandaids......and for the brave...(not recomended) my dad used to super glue himself shut..and us too when we were kids....i am a cook for a living and one day at work i sliced my finger really good...and i did what i told u to do..at first i thought i needed stitches...but after it stopped bleeding it hurt for a few days..but i didnt need stiches...is it a clean cut? " and "I would clean it with soap and water and then apply a little afrin when that dries then add some super glue. Yes it works. People look at me like I'm crazy but it really does work. " and more, check out the page :P I'm so so sorry you cut your finger, but there is NOTHING to be worried about, if you are really worried, call a doctor and ask them, it'll all be fine :)
