General Surgeon,  's  Response
Hello,

As the wound is quite long. It is better to go for wound suturing for proper healing and prevent bleeding.

Consult a general surgeon and get evaluated. Nothing much to worry and it can be done under local anaesthesia.

Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.

Take care

Regards,
Dr Shinas Hussain, General & Family Physician
