A member asked:
I have a small cut on my hand, can i leave my plaster off once it has stopped bleeding?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Maybe. Maybe not.: "Small cut" means different things to different people. The care needed depends on where the cut is, how long it is, how deep it is, how clean it is... presuming the patient is normal, healthy, and up to date on vaccinations. The details of the incident may be important, if there were any risks of contamination by unusual germs or chemicals. An online virtual consultation with a doctor may help.
