Yes you should definitely go to the er. It will probably need stitches but there’s a possibility that it will only need some butterfly bandages. Go get it checked. Don’t take any chances.

Get off Yahoo, the Internet and seek a doctor. Do you want to keep bleeding? What ever is cut, wrap it tight and get out of there. Get a neighbor to help. Now!

Tell your parents to take you to an emergency room at the nearest hospital. It might be serious.

10cms? I think that is about 4 inches. Get your butt to a doctor. Good luck.

10 cm’s ??? Wow, that is a fairly bad cut. If this isn’t a hoax and you haven’t passed out from shock or blood loss…yes, you will need stitches.

Put a clean towel or cloth on it and press down, not too hard, but hard enough to stop it from bleeding while you get yourself to the emergency room. They may or may not stitch it up depending on a number of things. They try not to if they don’t have to. They certainly will clean it up properly so it doesn’t get infected and may only use some type of bandaging. You will want to get a tetnus shot, too. Don’t be afraid of a tetnus shot, it is much better than what can happen without one.
Try to keep the place where you are cut elevated. If on your arm, then hold it up. Don’t let it drop down. Head cuts bleed like crazy, so don’t let that freak you out. Tell the doctor what you cut yourself on, too. They may need your parent’s permission, so get ahold of them.

Sounds like you need stitches. Get a towel and, keep pressure on the wound. If you have butterfly closures, close up your wound until you can get to the hospital. Also keep ice on it to constrict the blood vessels.
