[QUOTE="kirks5oh, post: 13256865, member: 23235"] If it was deep enough to see muscle (which I doubt) then you should have had it properly stitched up and be put on antibiotics most suitable to treat a potential infection in that body location. After about 8-12 hours, cuts are not sewn up, as there are already bacteria colonized in the wound and you would only be sealing them into the wound. Superglue is somewhat similar to surgical sealant, just not exactly and it's not sterile. I would limit its usage to simple linear lacerations less than 2 cm in length. My unofficial advice::: leave it be. Keep it clean and dry, and have your family physician take a look at it. Don't take antibiotics or any prescription medication from a friend unless that friend is an experienced and licensed health care provider. [/QUOTE]
