Will A Deep Finger Cut Heal In A Weak?
Last Friday, I cut my finger rather badly with a knife. I probably should have gotten stitches, but the wait for a doctor was too long so I left with just a heavy bandage. My question is, do you think that now a week later it would have healed enough to take off the bandage?

Hi,
Yes. It is likely to be at a stage when you can carefully take the bandage off to inspect the wound. I suggest you apply antiseptic ointment regularly and keep the wound clean and dry.
