Would putting salt on it be good for it? Because I heard someone say that salt's very anti-bacterial.

if you arent bleeding from the wound you really dont need a bandage on it. air is the best thing for cuts. wash your hands often with an anti-bacterial soap and put on some neosporine to reduce scarring and infection.

ok well it's probably going numb because it's to tight! try loosening it that will help! ok then if it's a really bad cut you should go to a doctor or someone who nows their way around cuts. then try applying a simple anti-bacterial ointment to it (neosporn or bacitracion) then if it is still going numb there could be a loss of blood or something that could affect it like that! so yeah try to get to a doctor soon! good luck!
happy healing! â¥

You're probably tying the bandage too tight and cutting off the circulation. Wrap some gauze around your finger without stretching it, then apply bandage tape. Make it secure, but don't pull it tight.
