General Medical Question - Urgent - Cut on Finger

[~AngelofLove~]

I was chopping veggies today and I cut my finger. It's not a big cut, but it does seem a lil deep. The edges sick together, but they can be pulled apart very easily and it is still weeping/bleeding. Should I go and get it stitched?

not sure if they would stitch it but they might use the glue because of where it is. if you wait too long they might not be able to do anything so if you think it needs medical attention i would get it done very soon.

Hey, if it's deep and near a tendon, make sure you get to the hospital. You've got a few hours yet. If you nicked the tendon and it doesn't get stitched right, you could lose some of the movement of your finger. I hope you're okay. :)

It's getting better.

Keep us updated, If it starting to look infected or if it gets worse and not better i would suggest seeing your doctor. Generally (in my own personal experience and understanding) finger cuts, while they may bleed a lot and hurt, will look worse then they are. However a lot of the time the cut is deep and it is serious. If it looks like there are two sides of skin, and they can be pulled apart and not have sever if any bleeding, then the would will most likely heal fine on its own. However if it hurts more then a small cut would after any given period of time then it is time to seek further attention. I hope this helps. Again this is my personal opinion. I am not a doctor,
