Stitches??!


Question:

Stitches??

How bad does a cut have to be to need stitches? I have a cut on my leg and its pretty deep and it took a while to stop bleeding and it kinda scared me and now it hurts like a s.o.b.Ive been putting some stuff on it and keeping it clean. I really dont want it to get infected. What should I do?


Answers:

Wash it with mild soap and water and use tea tree oil on it to help it heal faster and not get infected. Keep it covered till it forms a scab. Be sure to change the bandaid every time you use the tea tree oil. Usually if the cut is pretty deep that you can't get the bleeding to stop or it gaps open then you should see a doc and they will determine if stitches are needed.
