Question:
Answers:
clamp down on it hard for 15 minutes
If it stops bleeding and you can leave it alone, then probably no stitches are need, But if it is in a location where flexing will cause the cut to open, then YES stitch it closed
You might. Go to an immediate care center or the er.
probably. apply firm pressure to stop the bleeding and start the clotting process. You may have to hole it for about 30 minutes. If the bleeding wont stop go to the hospital.
Registered Nurse here; Apply pressure to stop the bleeding, go to the nearest emergency room, so that your thumb can be sewed up. Doesn't hurt that bad, sounds as if you really need stitches, if you don't, then the doc want do them. But you need to go and be evaluated, for left untreated, infection, poor healing, severe scarring, and possible loss of usage of thumb, for you may of cut a ligament, tendon, or even gotten into the muscle.
Thanks for allowing me to address such a urgent question. Now please get going to the Emergency Room.
Get to a clinic or a hospital an let them take care of it. Get off the computer now.
Get yourself down to the emergency room. You have punctured yourself with a "foreign" object and you may need a tetanus shot.
You probably need stitches so that the skin heals right. The doctor there will prescribe antibiotics so that an infection does not start.

no problem pal. rinse the cut area with a disenfectant such as pine-sol or clorox. apply pressure, wrap tightly with duct tape or electrical tape for 3 days.
