It will be okay just keep an Eye on it and keep it clean . If it gets worse or after 2weeks it still doesnt heal go see a doctor

That sucks, it will heal though, depending on how deep it is itll leave a scar which will be helped by the neosporing, you cant really get stitches or anything on your fingers, so you just have to keep it covered and clean and let it heal by itself, Vitamin C and E help healing and reduce scarring so you can take some of those pills if you want.

OMG, did you really just smash your finger in the door. Ok this may sound stupid but you have to do it or you might loose your finger. If you stick your finger in your butt then pull it out and suck on it for 10 seconds (sometimes you have to repeat this a few times) you will end up being ok.

If its not bleeding anymore, I'm sure it should be fine. About all the doctor would do if it doesn't need stitches is put antibiotics on it and a bandage, same thing you've done. But if you see any sign of infection go to the doctor RIGHT AWAY.

you should just leave it alone i mean come on a smashed finger no big deal ! try slaming your finger in a car door that you slamed because you was mad at your mom and then after that you rush to the store to get a pack of ice and wile you was going inside the door slamed shut on the same finger you bashed on the car door. and a cople days later it turns purple and you have a DATE ! and you go on the date with a huge swollen puprle thumb ! and your worst enmy is there and laughes at you in public!! so consider your self LUCKY !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! so it will be ok.

If you just took off skin you should be okay. Keep the bandage on. I don't know why your mom thinks it won't heal. If there is no blood and no joints involved then you should be fine. Just keep it elevated for awhile and stop typing and just read

You poor girl. Take it easy with the finger, until it gets better. Keep it cottoned and bandaged. I suggest the water resistant kind of bandages. Maybe you should go to a walk in clinic. Also pray. I'm praying for you, now.

It depends on how severe the wound is. Be sure that you wash the injured area and maybe put some hydrogen peroxide on it to clean it out so it won't get infected. Hope you heal up soon.

If you are typing, you'll be fine. Ice and a Band-Aid will fix it up. If it turns green, go to the doctor.

It will heal, but takes about 3 weeks. I had same experience. Keep inc it and stop typing by that finger... LOL
