A member asked:
Cut the tip of my finger off how long to keep it bandaged?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Depends: How deep is the cut? If deep, bandage/cushion it to protect from further injury and infection until it heals. Keep your finger clean and try some aquaphor or neosporin to protect/keep moist. Best of luck.
