In the event you or your child suffers a deep cut, the first thing to do is seek medical attention as you are unlikely to treat the wound with home remedies properly. Urgent care centers or emergency rooms offer several treatment options that best suit each case. Also, stitches may be required to seal the wound. For smaller cuts that are still not able to heal on their own, steri-strips, skin glue, or staples may be applied to help the cut close correctly.
