I : I recommend that you be evaluated at the hospital/er. Hand surgeons deal with this type of problem.

Odda : Odda are if it were unstuck quickly there is no major thermal injury. And typically does well however if you ahd a break or cut in the skin, your thermal inure (cold ) can turn to infection and that can get bad quickly .Go see someone however do not run it under hot water, do not re expose it to severe cold.
