Almost cut finger tip off
I almost cut the side of my finger tip off about 3 days ago, it bleed for awhile, I disinfected it and covered it with strapping tape, it hurts if I touch it on anything, and it I don't cover it I'll accidently touch my hair and it will open the cut more, it's not swollen or discharging anything, it's open enough for me to see how deep it goes. There's no scab, just a bit of skin pulled out a bit.
It's turned white and smells funky, and feels numb to touch.
Should I see a doctor?

Without examination of the skin condition and knowing the extent of involvement.. along with this more information on ongoing medication or history of previous/current skin/systemic illness it is not possible to comment on the treatment that would suit you best. Please get the problem checked thoroughly by visiting a qualified dermatologist or you can send images online through private online consult for a better assessment of the problem. Hope this is helpful.
