ER may be needed: If you have an open wound it is best to seek medical attention now. It may require stitches, and it's best to properly clean the wound. By cleaning well and suturing the wound closed, you'll lessen infection risk & improve healing. If you're unsure of your tetanus status, you should have a tetanus vaccine (booster) as well (Tdap - either Boostrix or Adacel).
