Hi,I am Dr. Shanthi.E (General & Family Physician). I will be looking into your question and guiding you through the process. Please write your question below.
What Do Black And Blue Discoloration On The Thumb Indicate?
12 days ago, I cut the tip of my thumb half way through and had 3 stitches. Started oral antibiotics 7 days ago as there was some infection at the base of the nail. Antibiotics will continue for 3 more days. The tip that had stitches has some black and blue and is very sensitive. Is the black and blue normal? How long before it heals completely?
