If you are worried about it then the best thing to do would be to go to a walk in center or your GP's. If you think it may need stitching then a+e would be a good bet. As a general rule, if it is about a cm wide or more, you can see fat (bubbly yellow stuff) or it doesn't stop bleeding after 10 minutes continuous pressure that it may need stitches. I don't think people will think you are attention seeking if you are worried and go to get it looked at. They would rather you were careful than not.
