Your post is incredibly vague and ambiguous, so I really have no idea what you're asking. Either way, we are not allowed to give out medical advice, per our TOS.

As mentioned, we can't give out medical advice here. I have been surprised by some of the wounds I have seen glued instead of stitched, but only the provider can really determine which is necessary.

Dad is 100% per cent correct. Think about it- Prior to 3000 bc, nobody got stitches, and the earth continued to orbit the sun.

Any other questions?

You may wish to do a little searching on the web for routine practices for treating similar conditions; or consult an involved medical professional.

All the best to you.
