Questions from Colleyville patients.
How do I know if a cut needs stitches?
If the wound is deep, gaping, won't stop bleeding, or is longer than about half an inch, it likely needs stitches or another form of closure. When in doubt, have it evaluated.
Is there a time limit for getting stitches?
Yes — wounds are generally best closed within 6–8 hours of the injury to reduce infection risk. Come in as soon as possible after a significant cut.
Will I need a tetanus shot?
It depends on your vaccination history and the nature of the wound. We'll review your history and update your tetanus protection if needed.
How can I minimize scarring?
Proper wound cleaning, careful closure technique, and following aftercare instructions (keeping the area clean and protected) all help minimize scarring. We'll walk you through care instructions before you leave.
Can urgent care handle a deep laceration?
Many urgent care clinics can handle minor cuts, but deep, gaping, or complex wounds — especially those needing imaging to rule out foreign objects or deeper injury — are better handled at the ER.
