They aren't lying, Neosporin really works, with pics

[v3rrv3]

I was trying to take a bolt out of my car, ended up breaking the torx bit and slamming my knuckle on a metal edge. Cut a flap 1/2" long and 1/4" long on my knuckle down to the bone. About 24 hours later, all the skin has bonded together and looks really good. Sorry the before pic is horrible, I was taking the camera in my left hand and I was shaking a bit

Damn, the skin is bonded. Try super glue next time, though. No need for stitches!

I've heard glue works better in places you don't bend or do much of the sort with. Considering I needed to use it in a few hours and all day at work day I opted for stitches. Aswell I had paint that rubbed off on my bone thing and I couldn't clean it without some kind of novacaine or something of the sort. Plus I have insurance so it was cheap to say the least.

I can't tell by the first picture too well, but it looks like that nick didn't need stitches. What are you, a wuss? No, seriously, it really looks not that bad of a cut, nothing a bandaid couldn't mend.

Yes I'm such a pussy it scrapped my bone and left paint and all I can do is go get stitches That's after I held it down, if I could pull it up there was a piece of flesh on the bottom and then some cartilidge looking stuff below that :x

ive had a cut like that.

looks ok when your finger is straight but once you bend it the skin opens up to the bone.

neosporin is the roxorz

Shut the side of my index finger into the 4 or 5 'hole' portion of my wire/screw cutter while cutting a 8/32...looked pretty and bled like crazy, my wife almost fainted . Luckily the skin (1/4" x 1/2" oval about 1/8-1/16" deep) was still attached in a few placed so I had a 'flap' to work with.

I don't know if it should have hurt...I have a high pain tolerance, I can still feel though where it cut around now...I was worried about that.

about a week later (sunday I did it last week) and it's relatively closed up, just rough around the edges.

On a side note being that you had to use your finger stitches probably were required, it's not the wuss thing to do just the thing to do when you don't want to be bleeding allover your work area , but cutting a knuckle to the bone is not a *major* thing usually....at least around me
