should i get stiches?

Also KA, that will heal in this case stitches would have only helped prevent a scar.

Stitches leave their own nasty scar for you to look at all day. I have had a cut that bad and not gotten a scar.

I've had my chin busted where I had to get stitches and my head busted open, where they gave me something I can't think of, but was very much like stitches. On my head in the middle where I busted it, there is a small string-like bump, and the same on my chin. It really isn't that bad.
