Stitches or super glue?

Cut myself afternoon with a knife… do I need stitches or will super glue suffice

 

I would get it cleaned up (stop the bleeding) and super glue it. But that's just me.
My wife stabbed herself in the forearm once opening up a toy for the kid. I superglued that and many other wounds of my own.

 

Is there a baby on the floor?


Probably could use stitches, but depending on how deep, maybe glue

I just got 8 stitches last month

 

How current is your tetanus shot

 

Also like that you asked us

 

I'm a fan of SG. I've glued many things that should have probably gotten stitches. I've found there's less scarring with glue though.

 

If I had a would like that one, for my wound I'd clean it, glue it, and splint it. I'd keep it motionless for at least a few days until there was no longer a risk of the wound tearing open & bleeding more. Once that risk was past I'd start to very gently exercise the finger from time to time to prevent any stiff scar tissue from forming.

 

Need better pics…

 

Open the flap?

 

Yeah….That will let us know how deep it is….

 

I wouldn't fuck around with that, go get stitches

Do you have health insurance? Why are you asking us?

 

Oh it's deep, but he needs to keep the flap on an glue it back down. Cutting off just makes the gash bigger. Ask me how I know

 

I am more curious to know if he knows how to stop the bleeding. Btw.... where do you go for financial, psychological and health advice. One stop shop TACOMAWORLD

 

I can’t tell if that’s his belly in the background.. but soon as that fingers fixed you need to shave bro

 

As an Eagle Scout I'd say stop the bleeding and just go get some stitches. Looks like a pretty big gash to me.

 

That being said, I have seen my dad wrap electrical tape around stuff like that

 

Yeah.. rub some dirt in it

 

Any gauze?
