Laceration on right thumb

2017-07-09 16:27:41
Hello last night while trying to open a thing of crazy glue, a knife slipped and stabbed me. It was pretty deep with something bubbling out, ended up being fat tissue. The wound is closed now but sometimes reopens due to positioning. Should i go get stitches?

I think wound is deep. Go for tetanus vaccine and to explore wound. To prevent it from infections, to reduce pain and inflammation. You must consult with a doctor
