I've fallen and cut open my eyebrow in a NYE mishap. Do you think these steri strips look well applied? Obviously it doesn't warrant a trip to A&E but I don't fancy a wonky eyebrow.

Yep it needs seeing by a medical professional

It's all about how well the edges of the wound have come together. The better the edges line up the better the end result will be. although after about 8-12 hours there's so much even A&E can do as primary healing will have started

Thanks everyone I'm going to go now and hope I've not done too much damage. I'll let you know what they say.

Is it deep?
It's not still bleeding or anything so you will be a very long time waiting at A&E to be seen.

A miraculous turn out, had a very kind triage nurse who treated me there and then and glued it. I was in and out in 45 minutes. That has to be a record. Thanks for the advice, I'm glad I've gone as it's put my mind at rest.
