A member asked:
Cut finger on broken glass, the puncture very small but bled a lot, the fingertip very swollen and blue. need a doctor? could the glass shard be stuck
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Glass cut: Glass tends to cut deep and bleed a lot, so the bruise can be from blood collected under the skin. If the glass is stuck you can feel it under the skin, observe for a day or 2 and put pressure to stop the bleeding.
