I cut myself by accident pretty deep..its been 3 days and it still hurts? i%26#039;m thinking maybe i needed stitches...should i go to the doctor or is it too late?
i%26#039;ve keep it super-clean and bandaged with neosporan and alcohol
its my finger right beside my fingernail...and i broke a wine glass so i think because the glass is so thin i might have done some damage?
help!

Best Answer

Too late for stitching!
Put a firm adhesive dressing(Band-aid /Elastoplast etc)on it and wear rubber gloves when washing up etc
It%26#039;s clean and will heal.

  • Hmm... i cut myself with a knife pretty deeply a couple of years ago as well. depending on the length of the cut (mines was about 1/2 of an inch but very deep) you may or may not need stitches. If you%26#039;re like me and dont really care about scarring that much, dont go for the stitches. And yes, if the glass is thin enough, you may have actually hit a nerve, a blood vessel, or even your bone. Even if you dont want stitiches, i would highly recotmmend that you have a doctor check this out. The last thing that you need is an infection...
  • Not to late for stitches. Sounds like you might need them. Get to the E.R. or urgent care. Don%26#039;t wait any longer. Good Luck!
  • Unless it looks sore, or infected, or swollen, then It%26#039;s probably not worth the time or expense.
  • it might be infected, i think you should go too the hospital//doctors to get it checked out.
  • you should%26#039;ve gone to the hospital, if its that deep, it will need looking at.
  • DOCTORS !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!HOSPTIL!!!!!!!!!! ok
  • Anyone who says %26quot;hun%26quot; shouldn%26#039;t be listened to.
  • go to the hosputal just to be safe.
  • Hun dont worry about it you must go to A + E
