A member asked:

Cut thumb w/ razor tues night. no blood but skin broken. wore band aid until friday morning then took off. is superficial wound closed by fri? risks?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Superficial cut: If the cut did not bleed, it was pretty superficial and should heal in a few days. Infection usually is evident by 2 days, so if there is no redness around the cut, you are in the clear.
