Q: Laceration and Dermabond on forehead

2 days ago I got a laceration on my forehead. I went to the hospital and they put two stitches INSIDE the laceration, and the outside was glued by Dermabond. Unfortunately, I'm very picky, and proceeded on to pick on the Dermabond, because I noticed I could peel off bit by bit. I peeled off a bit too much, and now there is a VERY SMALL, I'm talking 2x1 millimeter opening at the laceration...and if I sort of put pressure on the part where there IS a Dermabond, a little tiny amount of pus and blood come out..not alot though. Should I go to the hospital so they can do something about it or is that small opening nothing? Because I don't want my scar to be very disfigured.....

Go back the the hospital and have the Dermabond reapplied. You are now at risk for a permanent scar.
