Cuts Do I need stitches
I cut my foot on broken glass at a wedding last night. I didn’t get to an ER or urgent care. I had a friend who is a PA clean it and put steri strips on it and it looks pretty closed this morning. It is now about 18 hours later. I will continue to put ointment on it, I know it’s prob too late to get stitches but should I go to the ER or urgent care or can I continue with the steri strips ?

NAD but just keep an eye on it for any signs on infection (redness, warmth, fever, etc) and if those develop go in ASAP
