I got a cut on the boat out at the lake and it was pretty deep we cleaned it with hydrogen peroxide, put neosporin and butterfly stitches on it. It is now oozing out clear stuff and blood still and it\\\'s been a day since It happened. Does it need Stiches or what should I do?

Thanks for using this forum..

If the cut is deep and oozing it needs an examination as it might be infected ..dont take it lightly as the infection can be dangerous..get a physician to examine it urgently....
