A member asked:
How would you bandage my knifewound?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Depends: If deep or in a spot where motion is important, you might seek an er or plastic surgeon to suture it shut and prevent long term damage. If smaller and the edges can be held together with a bandage, then you can use the bandage to help it heal. If in doubt, seek attention.
