Almost exactly a year ago I cut a 45 degree chunk off my thumb (box cutter working with drywall...). Straight cut, thumb looked like "Gumby".
A year later you'd never be able to tell, rounded again with fingerprints as well. Quite amazing given I'm middle aged.
- mromanuk 5y agoSimilar to my own story, cut 3/4mm from the side of my thumb. Panicked and tried to reattach it, but later I read about the regeneration so, I removed the tip (ripped it) and just moved to wait and see. A few weeks passed and I saw how every layer of skin, grew back. Leaving a hole at the center first, and progressively all of it., was filled. I have pictures of it. You can’t tell know, pretty impressive I was 42 ATM
- nikanj 5y agoDo you mind sharing those pictures?
- Taniwha 5y agoI did the same thing 40 years ago. Still hasn't grown back
