Suggest Remedies For A Cut On The Lower Thigh

I just cut my lower thigh by accident. I was changing the blade in an exacto-knife and somehow it cut my leg. My mother started freaking out, saying I might need stitches, and it didn t hurt when I got cut, but it did start hurting about 5 minutes later when my mom dressed the wound and put tape on it. I m not sure if it will need a doctor s attention or not. Could you help me determine?
