A member asked:
Can you use liquid bandage products on a 1/2 -1 inch cut on the top of the head? or are stitches required?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Depends: whether or not you need stitches really depends on the depth of the wound. I would have a trained medical professional examine the wound and determine if stitches are necessary.
