Also, is it jagged or can it the skin be put together smoothly? If it is smooth (and not in an area in risk of reopening), she would personally use liquid band-aid. Clean thoroughly, dry thoroughly, and apply the liquid band-aid as directed. And make sure the edges are even and smooth to promote good healing and good results.
I cut myself with scissors really deep once. My mum just stuck it back together and I didn't need stitches. However, the cut wasn't in a place where it would reopen and it was a smooth cut.
I hope this helps! |
