I have actually had leech treatment believe it or not.

Several years ago I sliced the pinky of my left hand clean through to the knuckle from the back side.

It required microsurgery to re-connect the severed portion including the blood vessels, tendons, etc.

Part of the follow up treament was using leeches to ensure blood flow to the reconnected finger end.

Heh on a funny side note my insurance tried to deny the claim seeing as they saw the loss of a pinky fingure was not in their mind detremental to my work. I only had to ask one question..."Do you type at your job?"

Can't really think of any job where the loss of a digit wouldn't be detrimental.

Heres the results a few days later

Did you go to the ER?
If not why not?
Unless you have very small fingers from what you have shown the burn area on just one digit is large enough to require proffesional appraisal, especially as it is on a surface that is almost always moving and stretching.

Not only that, just think of all the pies they've got to try and get a finger into... I'm surprised they're not having extra digits surgically attached.

Meh.. they would have done the same as I did... clean and dress the wound.

There are a few things I should probably mention. Firstly as mentioned before the burn did not seem that bad at first mild stinging and slight discoloration. No signs of blistering. I was not diligent and apply ice as I should have. Did I mention I had a few drinks at the time?

The other thing is I worked on my house/yard all day the next day including cleaning gutters and working on the (currently green) pool. These are not exactly the most sterile enviroments and being wet.... well by the end of the day most all of the dead skin had shluffed off and it looked angry as hell

The stupidity of doing all that dirty work finally set in.

That evening I cut away the remaining dead skin and cleaned the wounds throughly with water/soap then Hydrogen peroxide followed by alchohal... ow ow ow... Not a drop of neosporin in the house. So I had to bandage them dry. Removing the bandages the next day was sheer joy I assure you. We now have antibiotic ointment in the house.

Ill take another picture tommorow morning and we call all watch the healing

ouch, I bet the air turned blue when you did that...

hehe, I once watched a female friend of mine replacing the 12v battery of her car. She was using a 10mm ring spanner to reconnect the terminals to the new battery and made the classic mistake of allowing the spanner to bridge the the two terminals. Of course she was wearing a couple of rings on one finger that were in contact with the spanner too... result: she welded the two rings together whist they were on her finger

She was left with a rather nasty circular blister round her middle finger right near the knuckle.
Somewhat callously my house mate and I just stood there laughing... we called her 'sparky' for months afterwards.

Same deal with a pinky toe, when I broke one of mine. People were like "well at least it's only the pinky toe, that can't be too bad." Yeah, I know it doesn't seem to do very much, but try walking around on a broken one for a couple weeks and you'll soon be very aware of everything it does do.

Burns are the worst.

I would advise no longer to put alcohol on it unless you especially like the pain. Alcohol does a lousy job of killing germs inside damaged tissue, but does a wonderful job of irritating damaged tissue.

I would put some vitamin E on it, keep it covered and protected and let you body take care of it.

Very sorry to hear about this. Burns stynk.
