[QUOTE="mapolley07, post: 3615196, member: 575458"] for tonight at least, just clean it out well with soap and water, put pressure on it until the bleeding stops, and then rinse out any remaining blood. as far as closing it up, you can use super glue (CA glue, cyanoacrylate) and then cover in a bandage. get neosporin as soon as you can to keep on it, it will help it heal very quickly. if you insist on stitching it up yourself, sterilize a needle by boiling it and use dental floss. dental floss is strong and sanitary. when you stitch it up, you make one stitch at a time and tie it, then cut the thread and do another one. you end up with several small loops of thread that are tied snug and none of them are connected. start at each end and work to the middle, and make sure the stitches are close enough together that your skin forms a smooth bond across the whole wound.
