About four or five days ago i left some bath water going for too long and fell in a pool of water in my home and tried to grab onto a door hinge while falling. My right pinky was gashed open really deep down the entire finger. So deep that a tendon was cut and they were debating on send me to the hospital for some kind of finger surgery instead of just normal stitches. But a eastern European man came in and stitched it up.
I have been putting neosporin on the stitches with a new bandaid and bandage twice daily.
Last night i accidentally bumped the finger with stitches into my living room table. It hurt like hell for about 10 mins the subsided.
I opened my bandage up today and one of the suture areas seems to have opened a bit obviously from it hitting the table. I washed it gently put neosporin on it and wrapped it back up. Really dont want to go back to the urgent care unless absolutely necessary. Any thoughts or advice?
