I cut myself pretty bad on my finger doesn't look like it, but it feels like it. how do you think it will take to heal?

See a doctor: You may need stitches and tetanus injection. Keep it clean and dry. The sooner you get to the doctor after a cut determines whether stitches can still be used or not. Healing is different for each person but without complications such as infection,healing starts immediately and progresses to complete healing within a week
