I have a 0.3 cm slit in my index finger that is about an inch long.Do you think I'd need stiches?

Answer:
If you can get the bleeding to stop, you might not need stitches. There are products that you can make to seal the wound by Johnson and Johsnon available at drug stores. If you could not get the bleeding to stop within 10 minutes, I would get stitches. Also another important question is when you had you last tetnus shot. It needs to be within 5 years or you will need another shot as well.
