Do you think i need stitches?

Question

okay, i cut.

but please dont answer this question with,

omg you shouldnt do that, and wow your phsycotic.

because i know all that already.

i cut a few minutes ago,

its really wide.

its on my wrist

and it wouldnt stop bleeding for a while,

but now it has stopped.

i can actually see my vein

its no exposed, but there is a thin layer of skin over it.

i didnt cut deep enough to expose it.

the cut is probably about a quarter inch wide and almost an inch long.

im worried it will get infected,

what things should i do to stop it from infection?

and do you think i need stitches?

Answer 1

You do need stitches, not just the infection thing, but it can open up worse, and it can burst to say it bluntly. So stop thinking about what story your going to tell the people at the ER and just go get them. I know what im telling you i used to do it. Im just wondering what you used, how did you get it to get that wide? Anyways go get medical help.

Good luck!

Answer 2

Not sure about the stiches, but you should clean it and put something like    Neosporan(sp) on it. :]

Tell your mama about the cut.

Ask her.

Answer 3

you should really go to the emergency room now just because htats fastest way in  and you  might rip it open in your sleep and get it really fucked up so i say just drive there right now and get it over with  

Answer 4

If that's all you have it will have to do. You should have poured some peroxide over the cut before closing it. I hope you did that. A cut a quarter inch wide certainly needs stitched, but how are you going to explain how it got there. I might be wrong, but if you go to the Emergency Room with that cut, they may be required to report it to Police Authorities. Get some butterfly strips as soon as possible, and a tube of Neosporin. Also pick up a bottle of peroxide if you don't have any. Pour the peroxide over the cut when you remove the tape. You may have to apply some pressure to the cut because it will probably start bleeding again. Once you get the bleeding stopped, apply the butterfly strips over the cut. Put one end of the strip on one side of the cut and pull the cut closed then attach the other end of the strip. Once you get this done, apply some Neosporin and cover all with a large band-aid. Leave all on for two days. On the 2nd day, remove the band-aid easy, trying not to remove the strips. Try keeping them intact for about four days. After you remove the band-aid, clean the wound with some alcohol, re-apply some Neosporin and put on a new band-aid. Cut should seal itself to where you no longer need the strips in about five days. Just be careful not to hit it and tear it open again. Keep the band-aid and apply the Neosporin for at least a week. I'm not going to say that you are phycotic, I just want you to think about those that love you most, who will live in agony knowing that an important part of their lives are gone, and how sad they will be. Life is great and you should enjoy it to it's fullest. If you did this because of a boyfriend, husband or whoever, get a new boyfriend and leave the husband because they are not worth your beautiful life. I wish for you the very best young lady and that all things heal, even the feeling that led you to this attempted death. Good luck.  

Answer 5

you should either get stitches or close it using butterfly band aids after cleaning it with hydrogen peroxide, then put a big band aid over it with neosporin which you should change regularly.  If you don't know what that is then don't bother just go to the emergency room.

Answer 6

if you can see your vein then go to the ER cuz u may need stiches

if not then clean it with hydrogen peroxide and put neosporin on it and put a bandaid on it
