Wounds over one centimeter usually require stitches. Whether to stitch or not to stitch is based on a combination of the depth of the wound, the location, and the neatness of the wound edges, in addition to assessing the length of the wound. If the depth of the wound exceeds the subcutaneous, such as seeing the fat, tendons and other tissues exposed, then this situation regardless of the length of the wound is to be stitched. If the wound occurs in the calf or ankle, it is also necessary to make stitches and apply a pressure bandage. If the edges of the wound are not neat, stitches are also needed to make them fit together to promote healing. If the wound is large, deep or in a special place, do not treat it by yourself, but go to the hospital and get stitched up under the doctor’s supervision.
