Having watched a mate nearly do the same thing earlier this week, I can feel your pain khendar.
I'm no doc, but your description of the gash seems very worthy of prompt medical treatment.
Maybe you haven't torn or cut any muscles or tendons, but if you have the sooner you get
them looked at, the better treatment outcomes will be. If the gash is 4 or 5 mm deep and as long
as you've described, it might well need stitching at the least.
Like many blokes, I've got the war wounds to show for not seeking treatment on hand injuries
as quickly as I should have. It's not fun sitting in waiting rooms etc.,. to get medical treatment,
but it's better than carrying a life-long regret.
Hope you recover quickly and aren't deterred from more DIY fixing.
