Take it easy: until it heals, it was not a clean cut. If you have diabetes see doctor right away

Stay or should I go.: What do you think? Eight days is enough time to heal a uncomplicated cut. If you have no residual swelling, pain or wound leakage, the your good to go. Be prepared, however, if things turn south. This is no time to get to risky.
