What can i do for my cut on the eyelid without going to a doctor?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Nothing: Eyelid skin is very delicate and cannot be replaced by other skin on the body. Additionally, scarring can deform the lids. A cut should be treated by an ophthalmologist or plastic surgeon who specializes in the eyelid.
