I have a question how to dress the cut wound (upholstery knife ran over the finger cutting off a piece of the fingertip, part of the nail and jackdaws epidermis on the finger). How long can wound healing take?

Rules for dressing cut wounds – first aid: 1) The wound should be washed under running cold water for 1-2 minutes. Cold water will constrict the vessels and make it easier to stop the bleeding. 2) When there is a hemorrhage from the wound, it should first be stopped, covering the wound with a sterile dressing, for approx. 2 minutes. 3) The next step is to assess the cleanliness of the wound (clean or contaminated) and disinfection, e.g.: Octenisept: https://www.gdziepolek.pl/produkty/87829/octenisept-aerozol-aerozol/apteki Hydrogen peroxide:https://www.gdziepolek.pl/produkty/84414/woda-oxidona-plyn/apteki#stacjonarne 4)Such a large wound requires a dressing in the form of a sterile gauze compress (eg Matopat) attached with a fixing plaster or knitted band. https://www.gdziepolek.pl/produkty/46882/matopat-kompresy-z-gazy-17-nitkowej-jalowe-12-warstw-kompres/apteki The wound healing process can last from 10 days to even several months, depending on the depth of the wound. If there are no complications, granulation tissue is formed about 4 days after the injury, while scarring occurs between 6 and 10 days after the injury.
