Answer #1

I think if its opened and still bleeding if I was you I would go to the hospital so check it out with the doctor.

Answer #2

First of all, I hope that @sshole got in some kind of trouble. If the paramedic said you’d be fine, then it must be okay. Just be careful sleeping on it, try sleeping on your side or on your back.. (so the wound doesn’t keep re-opening) Just keep it clean and dry (wet rag isn’t really necessary all the time) If it doesn’t stop bleeding after a while, I would go to the hospital. Hope you feel better. :)
