Hi all...
I recently cut my hand open on some jagged rocks after i bailed when i was skateboarding. I know have about 2 1/2 inch cut starting at the base of my ring finger and ending at the centre of my palm, with the cut being the deepest at the base of my ring finger. That isn't the problem though, the problem is that now at the tip of my index finger it has felt numb ever since. Sort of the feeling when your hand falls asleep... but constantly. I still have some feeling in it and i can move it fine its jsut that it is annoying having your finger feel asleep all the time. Does anyone think i should get this checked out or just let time do the work. I prolly should of went for stiches but i got my hands on some liquid bandage that sealed the wound up pretty well. Thanks for your time.

Doyle,
It sounds like you may have also injured/severed a sensory nerve in the hand also. It should come back in time but usually it takes months. Provided that there is no infection and movement is full and pain free you should be OK. However it's better to be safe than sorry so make an appointment for your GP to assess it.
