    What do I do next for a sliced finger?
    I was working outside with my pocket knife and it bent and smooched(sliced) my finger, I don't think it went all the way to the bone but it was deep. I washed the wound and put pressure on it until it quite bleeding the I put a band-aid with antibiotics then a butterfly bandage to keep it sealed. I slept overnight with it when I woke up my finger it a little bigger than before and I can't bend in too much.I don't know if I should go to the doctor or let it heal please help.

    Go to the doctor,you may have damaged the tendons in your finger,or need stitches.

    They will numb the area if you need stitches,better to get your finger looked at by a doctor now,then any long term damage that may result if you don't.
