A member asked:

Is a hydrocolloid bandaid safe to use on small knife cut? (stopped bleeding after ~20 min of pressure and elevation, pretty sure don't need stitches.)

Small cut: 29 year old lady with a small cut with a knife on unknown body location.You should also make sure that your tetanus immunization is up to date. If it is a truly small and clean wound, you can use a butterfly bandage to make sure the edges of the wound are approximated, brought together. Watch for signs of infection & see MD if needed.
