I'm very squeamish about blood unless it's mine. Have never had an open wound like that that was not attended to by a doctor, except when I was 4 and fell and split open the skin on my elbow badly and deeply. My parents did NOT call a doctor but poured methiolate on the open wound. I screamed for hours. When the doctor finally did see me have he said I could have used stitches. It left a nasty wide scar, but I got no infection.
I am pleased to report thumb is finally healing. Once the swelling went down the edges started to close. The deepest part, in the middle, has finally got a scab. The numbness and pain is better as well. Thanks for all the suggestions.
