My husband cut his leg with glass yesterday. we cleaned and dressed it but it doesn't look like it's healing. how do we know if if needs stitches?

Stitches : A common medical saying with cuts is if you are thinking about stitches you need them. It's hard to answer this without looking at the wound. Why is it not healing is the wound wide or infected?
