Gluesticks

Does super glue sting if you use it to close a wound?

My boyfriend cut himself, well basically cut really deep into the tip of his finger and he wants to super glue it shut. I didn't advise this but he's going to do it anyway. Well, he was until i said "it's probably going to burn." So, he said, "why don't you yahoo it?" So, my question is, does it burn when you use super glue on a wound? Yeah, he needs stitches, but he can't afford to go to the hospital "just to get some stitches" as he says. I say just wrap it up real tight, use neosporin and butterfly bandaids.

1. badly really really bad
2. Yea I'm sure it would, putting any harsh chemical like superglue onto an open cut is going to hurt. Try some neosporin and a band aid?? And if all else fails stitches are a better bet than superglue... which could ultimately cause an infection. Not a good idea. :)
3. My friend cut her thumb open and needed 17 stiches. But the doctor said that she could of used super glue to close it. As long as if you bend the finger it doesnt pop open. So go ahead and try it. If it stings then take it off.
