A trip to the doc might be good, especially if you think you need stitches. I cut mine, thankfully went to the doc and the tendon in my thumb had been cut. It was immobilized, therapy for 6 weeks following healing. The shot given is tempered by a topical and the needle is extremely small. The long lasting results are so much better if you get it checked! BTW, I hate hate hate going to the doc but on this topic, I'd go
