A member asked:

I sliced my knuckle on my pointer finger. skin still on & bleeds if bent. disinfect & bandage/splint ok to heal or need a doc? tetanus up to date?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

If cut is deep and you can’t fully extend your finger you may have injured extensor tendon and need a doc. If superficial, wash well, dry pressure dressing and finger splint should do.
