So, I sliced off a decent-sized piece of my thumb-tip yesterday with an Xacto knife. Any other tips for quicker healing...

...besides keeping it clean and Neosporin'ed? Trying not to bandage it too tight (for maximum circulation) while still keeping it from bleeding.

  - well, obviously you should go if you notice the hints of infection. But aside from that, I can't think of anything that would speed up healing. - Beryllium Sep 3, 09:40
  - Cauterize. That's what the doc did for me when I sliced a bit of the "side" of my hand off using an electric meat slicer - oblique Sep 3, 09:39 4
    - Whoa. Hmm. Well, if it's still bleeding tonight when I change the bandage, I will consider this. -- nm - Dr.Vermin Sep 3, 09:40 3
      - You can cauterize it yourself. See: I'm Gonna Git You Sucka -- nm - oblique Sep 3, 09:46 2

        You have to put on a bandana first, around your head. I'm pretty sure that's what the doctors do -- nm - oblique Sep 3, 09:48
  - Antibiotics would probably be a good idea. -- nm - Spawn Sep 3, 09:39 1
    - The neosporin claims to be an antibiotic... -- nm - Dr.Vermin Sep 3, 09:41
