1. My dear Swede...
Probably because there are so many nerve endings in that part of the finger...

I'm sorry, sweetie...

They hurt like the very devil!

:hug:

2. I usually put a band aid on it.
Nerve endings sounds good to me.:hi:

3. Put some triple antibiotic ointment on before the bandaid.
Keeps it from getting infected and drying out. If it gets dried out, it's going to hurt more.

5. they do hurt like the devil


soak your finger in a strong bath oil and water mix for about 10 minutes

(until soft ) dry gently and cover with bandied to sleep in .

Remove the bandied 2 or 3 times a day to gently wash in warm water, dry gently and

re bandage. It will take a couple of days to really heal. OUCH.
