I've cut my hand. It's weeping/bleeding and with the positioning of it it keeps splitting.

No Hmm go to the doctor/a&e etc you odd bod.

You'll end up there, for anti-biotics, if you do, so you might as well go to a Walk-in, to get it seen to.

If you are a HCP qualified in these matters-do it. If not best to leave it to the professionals.

Superglue. It's what it was designed for.

KayTee87 · 19/04/2017 16:19

Why on earth would you do that yourself HmmConfused

EZA15 · 19/04/2017 16:48

How about using a stapler if the sewing or glue suggestion doesn't work?

IHeartDodo · 19/04/2017 16:56

Clean it with hot salt water and stick it closed with steri strips or thin bits of surgical tape.

Superglue was originally designed to close wounds but I wouldn't fancy doing it myself (although I have had a wound glued in a&e and it didn't hurt at all.

muffintopsausage · 19/04/2017 21:22

Used superglue.

I am a HCP. But I had to use my non dominant hand to do it, so it's not too pretty.

A&E staff here are run off their feet. Im not going to waste their time over a silly cut.

KayTee87 · 19/04/2017 21:30

And you didn't think to mention the fact that you're a HCP in your first post? Kind of important information opWink

My dad had a massive cut and he just held it together with loads of plasters and gaffer tape until it sealed healed over. When he was having a stroke he tried to just have a cup of tea and walk it off but ended up in hospital for a month. Silly old sod.

muffintopsausage · 20/04/2017 06:59

Yeah., you can't walk off a stroke. I hope his stroke wasn't severe.
