mrloki ONLINE (12/26/2015) [-] I don't know it it's because I live in south america, but I wouldn't get a stich for a tiny cut like that ...
Hell I only had stiches when I got a huuuuge cut of about half my leg... that tiny thing would not need stiches, just a god damn bandage and it's fine !

If the wound reopens every time, the danger for an infection is actuelly quit seriously, so stiching it to make sure the wound stays closed to heal is not that much of an bad idea.

there are two reasons to get stitches for a wound and this definitely would have fallen into the second if he had gone to the hospital fast enough. the first is to hold the skin together while it heals over this usually minimizes scarring and doesn't leave odd shapes in the skin from healing (small divets and the like.) The second is to keep out bacteria to keep the wound from abscessing, in this case stitches are meant to keep out dirt so that it wont grow inside your wound and create a void filled with bacteria and infection, in cases like this if you wait too long it's more or less pointless because they'll pump you full of anti-biotics anyway, it's best just to disinfect the wound with some alcohol, hydrogen peroxide, or some thing, then seal the wound and keep it closed for a few days while it scabs and seals itself, chances are so long as you can keep the skin together it'll heal within a few days depending on how bad it is.

shoulda put his finger so the cut closed then put a layer of super glue over the cut for how small the cut is and how hard the skin is .

I had to stitch up the back of my hand in a petsmart. The cashier was to the point of barfing into her trash bin.
Unfortunately I didn't have a suture needle (curved, tri-point needle) so I went next door to a craft shop and got some sewing machine needles and monofilament.
It took a while because I'm left-handed and the 2nd flap of skin didn't want to stay put.
Had to put the thread through the needle, push it through both layers, pull the line out, then pull the needle back through.
Only had to do 5 stitches but it took a while.
I also had to stitch up my shoulder out on the side of a mountain on the trapline. Slid down part of a scree slide into a stump. That one was fast because I had a proper needle.
I still carry a suture needle, good (read; FLEXIBLE) thread, and alcohol swabs.
I also have suture staples and a puller in my truck now.

This is how you get a very bad Infection. Doctors will not suture wounds that have been open more than a few hours. (I think 12 hours is the max) After being open for a few days, there are definitely going to be bacteria in the wound. And at that point it's better to leave it open rather than trap them and their toxins inside your body.
