No: Crush injury with bleeding under the surface. Will be swollen, sore, and discolored for 2 or 3 weeks. If it is very stiff/ painful, if it feels like loose/ cracking bone, consider x-ray for fracture.

I hope it is your finger, not your aorta, that looks red.

I accidentally cut my finger open. Its not bleeding anymore, its a little white and kinda deep, but not numb so blood flow should be good I hope. Will the skin grow back if I use bandaids and ointments. When should I be worried?
