My opinion, as long as you're not gushing, or squirting blood, you should be ok. While it's numb, rinse it under cool water to see if you can see how deep it is. I would recommend using a touch of sanitizing soap while you're at it. Clean it out, and tape it shut would be my advice.
It doesn't sound bad enough for stitches to me, I've gotten plenty of them.
Nah, my stitches were mostly from stupid stuff. As a kid, stitches on my forehead from jumping off the coffee table, stitches by my eye after getting whacked with a snow shovel. Stitches on my leg from that damn tree jumping out in front of my dirt bike. Stitches on my finger from a wrench slipping and gashing it on a freshly razor sharpened lawn mower blade. (Down to the tendon on that one!) I got 7 stitches above my knee recently for getting sliced at work by a 4000lb roll of steel...that was DEEP. (I got pics!)
There's probably more, but that's most of them lol.
The only 'legitimate' stitches I got were from a surgery a long time ago.
should I go to the hospital?
