Clean it up really good before you seal it. Hydrogen peroxide until the wound stops bubbling. Allow it to dry thoroughly. Seal it up with liquid Band-Aid. Done. Quoting: ZOOM OUT Sorry about your mom's foot. A few yeas ago my mom was staying at my cousin's house to deal with finalizing her dad's death. There is only one bathroom in that house and it is upstairs, right next to the stairs. My mom is about 70 btw. She gets up in the middle of the night and goes to the bathroom. Forgets where she is and walks backwards out of the bathroom... ass over tea kettle all the way down the stairs. She was in a turtle cast for almost a year from breaking her back and neck in several places. Edit: liquid bandaid might burn like a motherfucker for a few minutes but well worth the pain. This 100% |

Quoting: 03 Fuck your credit or whatever, your finger is more important. So they can charge me 3,000 dollars for stitches? Don't fucking pay them...? They can't throw you in jail for unpaid debts... and they can't refuse you. Better yet... give them $10 a month to keep it from being bought by collections.

(OP) User ID: 75985906 United States 05/01/2021 07:06 PM Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation | The ruse K was pretty sexy though I’m not going to lie. She scared me when she asked if I needed water to drink. I know she realized that and she brought it to me and said not to be scared it wasn’t opened. Had here name on it and it looked as though she pulled it out of her lunch because it was some fiji water with her name on it. This was a significant experience I am sure. |

Use tweezers to close the cut & either butterfly bandages with extra wrap & tape or liquid bandaid/super glue. Watch the redness around the wound. If the redness starts spreading seek medical attention as infection is setting in. Quoting: Anonymous Coward 76883161 Good luck. Basically this. One thing I would add. Let the wound get air as much as possible when bleeding stops. |

User ID: 79406230 United States 05/01/2021 07:58 PM Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation | Not medical advice. But... Not sure how bad the cut is, but if it's not bleeding you shouldn't need stiches. IMO, if you aren't sure if you need stiches, you probably don't need stiches. I feel they get way over used - not that it really hurts people. Think it just helps the doctors feel like they are actually <doing> something vs just shilling for the pharma companies all day. Sure they get to bill quite a bit for it too. And if they just wrap you up or pour some glue on you... well anyone could do that. Can always use superglue on it. It will sting quite a bit, but it does work assuming you can get the skin close enough together. Hurts quite a bit though. Wouldn't recommend it for anything deep. Again, assuming it isn't bleeding and it's been cleaned well then just wrap the thing up tight, but not so tight you lose circulation to the finger tip and probably splint it just so you don't try to bend it. Who knows why the doctor didn't want to do it. Maybe he felt it was too much work. Much easier to write a script - don't even have to write it these days, just a few clicks on a keyboard. In any case these days people are even crazier than they used to be... And that's saying something. Good luck. EDIT: Guess I was late to the party on this one.
