What Causes White Skin Around The Cut Wound?
I cut my thumb really deep and I had it wrapped for a day and the next morning the blood clot like it should and I re wrapped it but then it started bleeding so I went to the doctor and they cleaned and wrapped it, but after they cleaned it I noticed the skin around the cut was white what is that or what does it mean?

Hi,
Nothing to worry, due to wrapping tight with cotton or bandage there might be having some necrosis of surrounding skin producing white dead debris.
Clean local part and go for dressing with antibiotic cream.
Ok and take care.
