Hello era! I was cutting bell pepper and yeah. RIP my thumb. I hope it grows back. No I didn't go to ER.


Forgot to mention: I cleaned with hydrogen peroxide as per pharmacists recommendation and neosporin on top

I don't think it will grow back if you don't get it put on in the ER, but that' sjust been what I've heard from a few people with similar things.. Maybe it's not the cause. Either way here's hoping for a good recovery!

Nice!

Get some ice cream for yourself, keep it clean, and you will have a story to tell.

If it makes you feel better I did this to one of my fingers cutting a bell pepper just like you did. I couldn't remember which finger it was and can't tell just by looking at them.

My mom cut a big chunk of one of her fingers cooking last year as well (bigger than yours). They removed a chunk of skin/meat from her wrist and 'rebuilt' her finger with that. It looks as good as new, but she's lost a lot of sensitivity there.

That sucks, OP. Hope it works out :P

Here's the piece cut off. Mildly worried but it is what it is at this point

I accidentally cut my fingers every now and then since plastic modeling is hobby of mine, but nothing that serious.
That will probably grow back since it looks to be mostly skin? You will just have a divot ther for a long while.

Yeah the transparent part is all skin I think but I am not sure about the circular part in the very center. Could be the fat layer?

Had to go to ER once for cutting myself instead of whatever I was trying to cut for my 3 am snack once, it was during the weekend so I got to spend a couple of hour with the drunks that had gotten into fights that night.
