Sounds like: A trip to the ER is needed. Sounds like you might need some stitches and and to make sure no tendons were injured.

Laceration: Seek medical attention in an ER or urgent care. If after a cut bleeding doesn't stop within 20-30 minutes ,seek medical attention. You will possibly need a tetanus shot, stitches, and evaluation to insure there was no tendon or critical structure (joint bone) damage.
