One 1in clean straight line laceration below skin on palm by nail; 3 days old not healing or bleeding; slight soreness. heal on its own?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Laceration: At this point it is too late to repair the laceration due to increased chance of infection, so it is going to have to heal from the bottom up. Worrisome signs would be pus, redness and drainage. It will be sore for a while and will slowly heal, but it will.
