A member asked:
If i had a blister but it's gone now, and the skin is half hanging off, is it okay to remove the hanging skin? it's been weeks.
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Probably safe: You have probably grown a new skin already by this time. Carefully cut off the hanging skin (don't pull) and you should do fine.
