How Can I Get My Thumb Ridges Back So As To Use Biometric Payments Machines?

Hello a few months ago I accidentally superglue my middle and thumb finger together, I managed to get them apart after a few seconds. My thumb Is now very itchy and there is a deep cit in the middle, the area surrounding the cut is shiny with deep ridges and the thumbprint is barley visable. Using biometric payment systems is now very difficult please help.

Dear Friend
If the ridges are not significantly affected then biometric should accept that .
Healing would take time. Apply moisturising cream over it.
If still machine doesn't accept it. You can ask the biometric department to take impression of your other thumb.
Good Luck.
