That depends on the wound. Depending on the size and depth, you may need stitches. If you wait too long, the wound can get infected. You may also need a tetanus shot. Unless the wound is superficial and easily treated with bandages, you should go to the ER and have them look at the wound.
Long &deep, go to ER; if it’s less than an inch long wash it well and apply a good tight Band-Aid.
