Bruises and Cuts

Chin Laceration

This photo shows a gaping laceration (cut) of the chin. It will require closure with either sutures or skin glue (such as Dermabond).

First Aid Care Advice:

• Apply direct pressure for 10 minutes to stop any bleeding.
• Wash the cut with soap and water.
• Once the bleeding has stopped, cover with a gauze dressing or adhesive bandage.
