When I was a teen I was playing basketball and collided heads with someone. It cut my eyebrow open maybe 1/2 inch. I was okay besides some bleeding. But people were telling me I should go get it stitched.
Ball was life, so I kept playing and now its fine I even have a cool scar. I have even heard other people over the years show me scars and say stuff like “I probably should have got stitches but whatever” and most of their scars looked fine besides the fact they were scars.
So why get stitches unless its an obviously huge cut that wont close by its self?

Sometimes healing wounds the body doesn’t quite figure out where the edges are and will grow the edges into the rim of the line and just leave the middle open. If you put the edges together then you don’t have that issue.
