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?
In: Biology
While it could, having a cut closed both helps keep it clean, prevents infection (see keeping it clean) and can help it heal
Correctly..
I got a cut in my hand, needed stiches but becuase it was a clean cut from glass, they were able to glue it back together and there’s barely a scar.
Compared to one that needed stitches but got nothing, has left a visible and noticeable mark/bump.
