No: See a doctor for evaluation and treatment including suturing depending on how long ago this occurred and whether it is infected or not. You may also need tetanus vaccine

Depends...: Is it a puncture wound or a linear cut? Shallow or deep? How long ago did it happen? Any medical conditions like diabetes, or on any medications like steroids? May you need a tetanus shot? Is it red or exuding any pus? There are more questions that need to be answered.
