A friend and I were messing around and I
let him cut me with a blade. I'm worried
about one of the cuts he gave me. It's
deeper than any i've had before and i'm
wondering if maybe I need (needed)
stitches or something. The edges are
apart and it's kind of in a v-shape. When
he cut me, it bled quite a bit but I was
at school so I couldn't really take care
of it. Also, when he did it, I didn't
feel any pain....Actually, I haven't had
any pain at all. Is this something I
should be worried about? Right now i'm
most worried about infection, but i'd also
like to know if I should have gotten
stitches. Any help is appreciated

Since a blade is made of metal... You
must go see your doctor... And get a
tetanus shot.. Unless you have had one
within the past 5 years. V shaped.. If
it stopped bleeding..... And is not more
than 1 inch deep.. Close the wound with
butterfly bandages.. And wrap it.. If it
keeps on bleeding.... Or pain persists..
And hurts so much.... Go to ur nearest
hospital... Or see your doctor... Good
luck! =)

What in the world would posess you to
allow a friend cut you with a rozor blade,
be careful, if you are gonna be this
worried about it maybe it is not a good
idea to do these things.
