Some of you may remember this thread from two years ago. Well, he got me again. This time he got my finger on the other hand. I was getting knots out of his fur when he clamped down on the finger (the one you use to tell people they're number one 
) and when he tried to release and turned his head to jump down, his teeth were stuck in my finger, he couldn't let go. But since he turned his head, he wound up tearing the puncture wounds open even more.
The top joint of my finger is red and swollen. However, I don't see how it could be infected this time, as by tearing the flesh sideways, he made the puncture wounds larger and they bled profusely for about 10 minutes. I applied tons of Bactine spray and then Neosporin to it as well. This happened about six hours ago and so far, the swelling and redness is limited to that top finger joint. So should I go to the after hours clinic or do you think it will be ok?

what kind of crazy ass kitty-virus do you think you have contracted?
H2O2 + Neosporin + Band Aid like thearteest said. If it is still red and swollen in a few days go to the doc and get some antibiotics, or just rub some dirt on it.
This actually looks a lot better than it did a few hours ago and you can't really see the swelling from this angle.
Just remember, you all asked for a photo.

Makes it hard to type.
Hope you don't lose the finger.

water with epsom salts, more gunk came out of it with a little squeezing.
