Dry skin, frequent washing, chemical exposure, or minor accidents are common causes of painful cuts on fingers. Maintain the area's cleanliness, use an antiseptic and petroleum jelly or healing ointment, and cover with a bandage if necessary. See a doctor if you experience pus, redness, swelling, or delayed healing, particularly if you have diabetes.

I'm sorry to hear that your finger cuts are painful.

For painful cuts on the fingers, it is important to keep the area clean to prevent infection. You can consider using a topical antiseptic cream specifically designed for cuts and wounds. One such option is an antiseptic cream containing an antibiotic like framycetin, which helps kill bacteria and reduce the risk of infection.

Here are some general care tips:

  • Gently clean the cuts with mild soap and water.
  • Apply a thin layer of an antiseptic cream to the affected area.
  • Cover the cuts with a sterile bandage to protect them.
  • Change the dressing daily or if it becomes wet or dirty.
  • Avoid touching or picking at the cuts to promote healing.

If you notice increasing redness, swelling, warmth, pus, or if the pain worsens, it could indicate an infection requiring medical attention.

Please consult a dermatologist or a general physician to evaluate your cuts properly and to get a prescription for an appropriate antiseptic cream if needed. They can also advise if further treatment is necessary. If you experience severe pain, spreading redness, fever, or other concerning symptoms, seek medical care promptly.To narrow down potential causes, we will need some more information.I understand that you have painful cuts on your fingers.
