The following content has been hidden - Reason : detail I had a gaping cut that was steri-stripped for 4 days, but i kept opening it up. then i recut it to the tendon. when i went to A&E the only way they could stitch it was to do debridement first,(scrape it out) so it would all heal. Will it heal that quick??
