Today I cut my finger how long should it take to heal?


I was making lunch today and the knife slipped and clipped the top of my finger it really scared me the very top probably the top couple cm's I thought I was actually going to lose the top bit of my finger but ended up not even getting any stitches. The nurse came and gauzed it up and wrapped it up very thick. I can still feel it throbbing is it likely still bleeding. They told me to keep the gauze on for 48 hours and then just to clean it more polysporion and band aids till it is healed how long should that be

It depends on really how bad it is cut but maybe lee than a week(3-4)days
