let the wound heal a bit and when it is then pull it off

Reply:Depends on how deep, usually heals quicker if you pull it off. If deep you should apply pressure so it seals better and quicker to stop infection. - Cause usually certain cuts are more prown to infection/Puss

Reply:I normally pull it, but if it hurts, you should cut it off.
Reply:Get stitches.
Reply:Clean up the cut, leave the loose skin on. If you can, try %26amp; push the hanging bit of skin back on! Then cover it with a plaster. The bit of skin hopefully will cover will cover the wound %26amp; then re-grow.
Reply:Pull it off or I will come and pull it off for you.
Reply:seriously? me? peroxide the wound or Neosporin, and lay the skin back over it. it WILL heal faster with less chance of infection.

Reply:If at all possible try to pull the torn skin over the wound this will help to protect the delicate skin underneath from further damage and help to prevent infection.Then cover it with a sterile dressing.Do not pull it off.The longer it is there the better chance the cut will have of healing.
Reply:Put it back in place and cover it with a plaster.
Reply:Id leave it on cover the cut back over with it after cleaning and cover with a bandaid, often will fuse back together, if your'e feeling adventurous you could add a slice of something else, graft on a new piece depending on where the cut is, if on your foot you could add a thumb so you can eat with your feet, later, after the healing process. Have fun but keep it clean !!
