Stitches

If a cut stops bleeding does it need stitches?

The barber cut my ear at the top. I mean really cut it, not just scratch it. I didn't think it was any big deal at the time but it hurts more now almost a day later than it did then. Should I go to one of those immediate care places?

1. I think you should go to the emergency if it's really causing you serious pain.. If it just hurts minorly, take strong Advil or something
2. If it isn't going to heal right, you should go get stitches. You may have a big scar there if you don't.......
3. if you have any doubt that you need it then you probaly need it, or you could just bandage it for a while hope you didnt pay for it
4. look if u really arent confident go to a local pharmacy and ask a pharmacist its free and u get some consultation =]
5. if that is what happened to you then i reckon that you should go to the hospital and they will check if you need stitches or not
6. 24 hours later? bit late!
