Stiches


Just wondering whats the best way to tell if a cut needs stiches, well besides going to a&e or a doctor?

Don't have any right now that need it, well i'd be surprised if they did anyway, but i've had some that in hind-sight I think could have done with stiching. The took forever (almost a month) to heal and the edges wouldn't close on there own. If I cut myself like this again should I get it stiched? (I could see yellowy fatty looking stuff at the bottom of the cut)

Thanks for the help

Re: Stiches


It definitely sound like they would need to be stitched, if they're not healing and you can see the fat layer. There is a high risk of infection as well. I hope you're ok, please take care ♥
