i cut my finger pretty deep yesterday with shears while cutting hair and i have been keeping it covered with a band aid but it is a "flappy" cut so every time i have to change the band aid it starts bleeding profusely again. i was told by my educator to use super glue but i dont have any i only have wood glue... what would you suggest i do?
Hello dear, I read carefully your problem. I think, superglue, or every kind of glue should not be putted to your wounded finger, or it may get infected and complicate the wound more. Depending on how long your wound is, you may need one of the above treatments:1) If its more than 1 cm long cut, it will need to put 1-2 stitches in it. You have to go to the doctor for this, as it needs sterile (very clean)conditions.2) If its bleeding because its deep, but no longer then 1 cm, then you can find steri-strips in the pharmacy, and they will stabilize the would so it won't be flappy anymore, so the bleeding will stop. Some other things that you should do, is to use a non-adherent gauze to Chat Doctor. Hope this helps, Take care.
