A member asked:

Took a chunk off the tip of my thumb a week ago. dr cauterized it. tip is still black and ashy grey. i wash it daily. this ok? any healing tips?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Leave open to air.: Washing daily is OK, but one must thoroughly dry off the tip of the thumb. I would leave it open to air as much as possible. In addition, would take additional Vitamin C and if a smoker, stop.
