If the wound edges are in togeter - just cover area with band aide if not go back to the ER for stitches. I hope he does well.

The wound should be kept clean and dry, and a clean bandaid applied and changed daily. The wound should not have pus, increased redness or increased pain at this time during the healing process. Watch for these signs and please follow up with urgent care or your physician. A healthtap consultation is available.
