You could try those stick on sutures, or superglue (not sure about proper technique with that but people say it works well.)

Yeah, stuff I posted is basically just super glue. Don't know if there are any poisonous contaminants in regular super glue or not, something to look into I suppose.

I sliced the web of my hand between my thumb and index with a serrated kitchen knife. It was super deep. After I got the stitches out, a week later I went on a trip to Cali and friends were throwing a football on the beach. I tried catching it and it completely busted open the wound and I sealed it up with super glue.

I probably wouldn't get that stitched personally, but I'm not wild about doctors. Maybe some butterfly band aids & liquid skin? The one issue I see is that it can be a bitch to get that kind of thing to stay in place on one's finger. I'd try a bunch of home stuff before going to a doctor, but that's me.

One stich would be ideal. It will heal a lot faster than without it. Otherwise..., you'll be fine of course.

I'd stitch it, simply for cosmetic reasons. At least get my Dr.'s opinion.

Naw, but if I had a simple choice of a gnarly scar, versus no scar, I'd take the latter.

Use super glue. That was its original purpose anyway.
