A member asked:

I have a really big cut in the bend of my arm, opens whenever i move it?

Get immediate care : This sounds serious, get immediate care at ambulatory care family doctor or er. If it is fresh get off your computer and move. If it is old it still needs care but can't be sutured closed.
