I’ve got quite an open, deep cut (the sides of the wound are far apart). A first aider looked at it and decided it didn’t need any treatment apart from cleaning as it had (eventually) stopped bleeding. They said it would heal better by being left alone to dry out.
It’s now one week later and (as well as still hurting) the sides of the wound are still very wide apart and it looks like it’s going to leave an open, jagged scar.
I’m gutted that I didn’t fight for a steri strip but I couldn’t see it well so didn’t realise how bad it was until after we’d left.
Is it too late to do anything about it? Do I just need to accept it’s going to scar?

Is there anything I can do to stop/reduce a wound from scarring? (Possibly gross!)
