To help your pinky heal:
Keep it Clean: Gently wash the cut with soap and water (avoid alcohol as it can irritate).
Use Antibiotic Ointment: Apply something like Neosporin to prevent infection.
Bandage It: Cover it with a clean Band-Aid and change it often.
Don’t Strain It: Try not to put pressure on your pinky.
Look for Infection: If it gets red, swollen, or has pus, see a doctor.
If the cut doesn’t heal well, it’s a good idea to see a doctor. Contact Irvine Skin for help if needed.
