Default How bad is it not to get stitches?

I just cut my finger. It definitely could use some stitches. It's cut through the fatty layer and it's deep enough that it's staying open and not healing. Can I get away with just going to the store and picking up some butterfly stitches? Duck tape?

No, I don't have insurrance and please don't comment upon this fact.

lets check your choices:
1. dont go get stiches and you might have a scar on your FINGER.
2. go to the doctor and pay for stitches and whatever other crap they give you out of pocket.

I'd go with 1, chicks dig scars [img]/images/graemlins/wink.gif[/img]

I'm not try to over dramatize this. I actually laughed when I did it. And, even though it is just a finger, it's been in my experience that cuts don't heal very well because you're constantly bending the skin and re-opening it, even with tiny little cuts. Its been about 3 hours and I could still stick my pinky finger in there and massage my bone if I wanted. It wasn't rhetorical question. I was asking if it would be worth it to have it stitched or not.

Edit: I honestly could care less about scarring.

Wait. You've got a hole in your finger big enough for you to stick your pinky in there and touch the bone? Go get some freaking stitches and something to clean the blood off your keyboard.

What were you doing when you cut your finger anyways?
