Comment on Amputated fingertips sometimes grow back (2013)parent

Comments

I caught my finges in the chain of a swing as a child and tore about half the pad of my pinkies away to a similar depth, one narrow strip was still attached so I held it on with bandaids after washing it. It grew back together but now there is an offset or fault line in my print.

At first I thought you meant to write fingers, then I realized your must have been referring to the truncated fingers, that is “finges”.

Did you just do that on your own without telling an adult? I totally did similar things.

I cut my thumb to the bone when I was 10 by whittling a stick towards myself, and I also have a fault line there now.
