Brief Answer:
Get examined by a Doctor and take medicines

Detailed Answer:
Hi XXXXXXX
When did you get the cut? I hope its not deep and that the bleeding has stopped.
If not then please see a Doctor or Surgeon who can examine you and advice whether stitching is required or not. Even if nothing else you require an injection of Tetanus Toxoid to protect yourself. That is a must.

If you have trouble in walking then either the wound is deep or it has gotten infected. In either case I would suggest an examination by a Doctor. For these situations however I advice my patients antibiotics like Augmentin twice to thrice a day depending on dose of medicine and Tab Combiflam thrice a day on full stomach plus antibiotic ointment with dressing.

If you cant seek medical help then you can upload a photograph so we can advice you accordingly.
Take care and all the best.
