A member asked:
When should someone consider stitches when they cut the skin between their fingers?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
When to get stitches: If the cut is deep and won't stop bleeding or gapes you probably should get stitches However you have about an 8 hour window to get stitches placed. Outside of that time frame - the wound will heal but will take longer. You might want to consider having it looked at if this info doesn't help
