What Causes White Discoloration On The Fingertips?
My husband burnt the tips of his fingers on a metal part on the inside our dryer. The finger tips are now white in color with what look to be raised blisters. He had had his fingers in ice water for 15 minutes, but is complaining of constant pain in his fingertips. Any advice/suggestions would be great!
