the steri strip held firm last night, so i cleaned around it, slathered on some neosporin, redressed it and it's pretty good this morning.  i'll give it two days before i change the dressing again.  yeah, i think this one went nearly down to the bone.   :-\

Ouch, definitely have to watch those edges, I got a similar cut from a tennis ball can that slipped while I was opening it.

Do you think it was sharp from corrosion?

Ca has been used in the medical profession for decades (iirc it may have started in Vietnam as an aid in field dressings) Whilst products like Dermabond, Flexiseal etc. would be the preferred ca glues for a simple flesh wound I would still use ordinary ca for me and my pets. It can 'tingle' a bit ;) My wife has also used it for repairing split nails.

Skin Shield liquid bandage is a product the company I used to work for made (since sold). It was basically a CA with nitrocellulose and some benzethonium chloride as an antiseptic. Crazy glue or generic works the same, is much cheaper, and you can toss it when it hardens as it inevitably does. Don't be afraid of generics like Equate...it filled literally out of same drum of bulk as the premium brand. You are paying double for a marketing label. Just my 0.02. But it's fact, not opinion. :)

If it festers up and you need to have it amputated, let me know. I'm offering a discount for digit amputation this week only.  I call it "four finger discount".  Just holler, have cleaver will travel.
