Need help with Mom's finger
I posted a while ago that my mom's thumbnail cracked at the base and a piece of tissue is sticking out. It is pink/red, about the size of a small pimple. I've been doing the B and W ointment for a few days and we don't see any change.
My brother scared her into seeing a dermatologist, telling her it may be cancer. Of course, the dermatologist told her he doesn't know what it is, and she needs to see a hand surgeon, who is not available for at least a week. And of course he doesn't take medicare either, so she has to pay for this herself. The other doctor scared her, saying she could loose feeling in the finger.
I am thinking that it will heal if i can get that piece of tissue to fall off. She said it is quite painful, and is in a place where she keeps banging it. My mom wants something done quickly, she is not that patient with natural healing, and will go through with the surgery if I don't do something.
So how can I get that piece of tissue off? Would oil of oregano do it, and would it be very painful?
Thanks,
