Go to the doc unless you are a hardcore survivalist like me!. !. !. The glass will work itself out usually, but that size and a gaping hole will cause an infection 9 times out of 10 :)Www@Answer-Health@Com
While it has been too long to get stitches, you need to go to the doctor and have him/her check for more glass in the wound!. If the remaining glass is not removed (if there is any more), it will cause you more problems in the future in which you would have to have it surgically removed!.Www@Answer-Health@Com
well my big sister fell over when she was 2 and landed on glass, when she was 21 she noticed a little lump on her forehead, and when she rubbed it a piece of glass that had been there for 19 years came out, so the glass might not cause problems, but still get it seen to by a doctorWww@Answer-Health@Com
If the glas was deep into your finger it is normal that it wouldn't have worked itself out until now!. If you can still see the tissue you may need to go to a doctor so they can help prevent infection,do you have a tetnis shot!?Www@Answer-Health@Com
