Answered by Dr. Muhammad Zeitsev Bin Azman
Hello,
Thank you for reaching out to Dr. Galen. Please find the below response to your query.
1. Yes, you can apply lidocaine or a topical pain treatment to help manage the pain while your finger avulsion heals. However, it is important to make sure that the wound is properly cleaned and any dressings are in place before applying the treatment.
2. Be cautious not to apply it to an open wound unless directed by a healthcare professional. If you have any concerns about the wound or the treatment, it's best to consult with your doctor to ensure proper healing and avoid any complications.
