I cut the tip off my thumb. Put it back and it feels ok. Will it grow back on or eventually fall off?!


Question: I cut the tip off my thumb. Put it back and it feels ok. Will it grow back on or eventually fall off.?
so yeah, I cleanly cut a tiny slice off the top of my thumb by accident. It was hanging on by a tiny bit, so I just applied pressure and it stuck back on. I figured that new skin would grow underneath it and the old skin would die and fall off. But I seem to have feeling in it. Hard to tell if i'm just feeling the pressure though. the whole thing was surprisingly painless all in all.
what do you guys think.?Health Question & Answer


Answers:
give it a week, be careful and keep it CLEAN!!! i mean it, theres a big entrance for bacteria there...if by next week it doesnt seem more stable, just forget it. dont move it, either; just cover it with a bandage, pressurized.Health Question & Answer

If you just cut some of the skin off, it should heal, but you could ask a doctor, probably without even having to go in, for a definite answer.Health Question & Answer
