Should I Get Stitches For A Half-inch Open Wound On My Head With A Small Skin Flap?

Hi, I hit my head on the corner of a shelf. There is bleeding but not enough to run down my face. I can see an open wound about half an inch and one very small skin flap. Should I go to get stitches or apply triple antibiotic ointment and cover the wound?
