i'd sterilize it, stitch it myself, and take some antibiotics

no big deal

if it was a rusty tool, and i guess i could assume u haven't visited the doc in a while... u might seriously need to get a tetinous shot (sp??)

i stepped on a dirty nail, went right threw my shoe, stabbed my foot. sterilized it by heating up a bowl of salt water and stuck it in there. supposed to get a 1 of these shots every 3 or so years. i believe its cheap. it can only get worse with some kinda infection... imagine loosing ur thumb for the rest of ur life for something simple. shoot a call to a local clinic and see wat 1 costs.. i gashed my thumb but i just held the skin flap (eww, ahahahaha) real tight with a bandage and neosporin, it healed quick.

There are free clinics, you know...

Either way, flush the wound out with water, irrigate it with hydrogen peroxide, slap some neosporin in there, and bandage it up tight.

the thing is its right where my fingers flex the webbing area from my thumb to index so once i move it rips open again

So tape your hand solid so you can't move it after you're done bandaging it.

Super glue was originally invented as liquid stiches for wounds like that... Thats why it sticks to skin so well...

Seal it up, cover it in superglue, go find a free clinic. And good luck

Yeah. I know a bald, asian, long time member on here that could hook you up quik. But he wouldn't, lol.

LA is full of FREE CLINIC's.

another vote for, clean it good, neasporin, super glue, tape hand up. and hit the free clinic ASAP.

Do this, and go to a free clinic asap. Try treating it yourself if it's as bad as you say and you risk infection, and that won't be fun.
