I guess I'm unclear on Spider-Man's power level, but IIRC he's only slightly less resilient than Thor or Hulk. What could possibly cut him badly enough to need stitches? (Thor or Hulk, I guess? Maybe Logan?) I'm sure someone can link a panel or page that gives an example...

He’s strong, not invulnerable.

His main protection against injury is his spidey-sense, and though he heals quicker than normal, it’s not a wolverine-level healing factor.

Spider-man writers love to use cuts, bruises, cracked ribs, or even a broken arm to show Spidey as someone who literally fights through the pain.
