There is a 6 inch ditch in my yard, right next to the curb. My cousin was on her cell phone and stepped into the ditch, and then fell over the curb onto the street. She fell on her elbows, and got a big cut. Does it need stitches?
She says that it burns, even though it is now a half-hour later. We washed it with hydrogen peroxide and Neosporin. It is also bleeding through her band aid. The cut itself is about a little bit more than a centimeter down. It looks black in the middle, and is bleeding around it. There is also a bit of white in it.
Sorry to gross you out, but I'm really worried. Should she go get stitches?
