    Mmm steri strips are only real good for skin tears or something. How deep is it? It sounds like it's in a bugger of a spot too. Good on ya. :P what would Rafa say about this!

    Try not to use the thumb for a little because as soon as you put tension on it the site will peel open again iykwim

    You probably made this happen, so I had one less finger to hold Raffa with!!!!! bahahah

    I don't think it's that deep as such, but would be a couple of cm's from end to end. A nice big flap actually. (Keep it clean girl!)

    I did something similar not that long ago, my mum (who is a nurse) just said to use steri strips...it's healed fine.

    The strips should be OK. if need be change it the bandage it firmly and leave for a day or two. Try and keep it dry

    DH is always cutting himself so have become pretty good at this type of DIY

    Good excuse for not doing the house work today

    Raffa won't be available for you tonight Ahurani. If I need to keep my thumb dry, he'll be in my kitchen doing the dishes for me & sponge-bathing me instead of steaming up the shower with me.

    Thanks girls! I feel better now. It stings like ar*se though! I"m such a baby.

    Raffa can kiss it better - I'm sure.
