I ******** up my knee on the way home from work today. My mother thinks I need stitches. I disagree. But I don't know if I should be worried that it's infected or not. I've rebandaged it three times, cleaning it each time. But it still looks awful. s**t.

I was on my bike. Took a turn too wide and wiped out. Didn't notice that I was bleeding all down my pants til I pulled into the driveway.

If its an open wound and is more than several inches wide then yes I would likely go for stiches, though you can go without but it will take longer to heal and likely rixk the higher possibility of infection though. sweatdrop

Hmm. It depends on how deep it is, if it isn't healing properly, you may need stitches. Is it still bleeding quite a lot?

It's not too deep. And I did get the bleeding to stop. Though, it took a combination of gauze, paper towels and painters tape. The bleeding finally did stop. It just...doesn't look that good.

So I would use gauze, first aid tape, and large bandaid bandages. Just for a couple days until the cut heals over with new skin. Just clean it twice-ish a day, along with a shower to help wash off any dirt or debris that may have gotten inside the cut. Also, neosporen and bactine are your friends!

This is a pic of it from right when I got home.

I've just rebandaged it, so I can't send you a current pic. But I see a dark red or black color inside the wound. I could be wrong, it could just be dried blood, but it's just worrying.

Hmmm, thats not a good thing, I still might consider stitches, even so you could get it to heal on its own as long as you stay on it about cleaning it up as much as you can till it starts to seal itself closed, which it should start to eventually if it isnt already trying to.
