Semi deep cut
I dont know if it needs stitches or not its like 2 hrs old now. Its about 0.5 mm deep and its gaping but ill wait until in the morning to see if it scabs over or not
|
How much is it gaping
|
a (1) cm

As it's getting up to 12hours since you've done it fewer doctors will do it and it depends how severe it is now and it's position. If it's a cm wide it is at the limit of what we'd usually say it needed stitches but we can't really say, it depends where it is. If it bled for longer than 10mins under pressure they could do with having stitches too. It may be an idea for you to try and get it closed yourself with steri-strips but this should be done ASAP to reduce the risk of wound being infected as much as you can. Make sure you clean the wound as well as you can before closing it yourself. Closing wounds together with steristrips should be done within the 1st 24hrs of doing them. If you're worried about it it would probably be a good idea get it seen this morning

Hey i did more cuts. I got forced to get them sig because one of them started to bleed again and i was going white. I got them cleaned, steri- strip Idine things put on them pads nd a bandage on them. I did them all in the same place stupidly then i got transfered to another hosp. to see a doc then she checked the wounds then got a specialist nurse to speak to me
