Should i go to the emergency roo for a deep knife wound on my finger?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Deep Wound-: YES ! You need wound care. Any DEEP wound to the finger is likely to have damaged an underlying structure (the finger isn't that big). You could need sutures or surgical repair. You may need tetanus shot, antibiotics or even pain medication.
