Suggest Treatment For Deep Cut In Thumb

Last night, while slicing vegetable on a slicer, I cut my thumb right below the nail. It waa deep and because of the blood fliw, I burned a cloth dipped in mustard oil and put it on the wound. The blood flow stopped but today morning, when I was trying the remove the remaining part of the cloth which remains inside the cut, the blood again started to flow. The cut is deep and I can pull the skin that remains. If I have to remove the skin, there will be a deep part of it gone. What should I do so that there s a quick effect for it to get attached. And what medicines should I go for.

You should have gone to a doctor immediately after the cut so that he would have put few sutures to the cut to stop bleeding. You have infected the wound by putting unsterile cloth,etc. You need a course of antibiotics in addition to booster dose of tetanus toxoid shot, and pain killers. So pl visit your nearest physian.
