	When is the most appropriate time to have laceration (torn skin) sutured?
	Most people believe that the sooner is the better. So they often visit an emergency room. If injured area is kept clean, it is good to have a medical specialist suture it within 24 hours after the wound occurs. However, when it is determined that the wounded area is with foreign substance or its tissues are contaminated and necrotize (die), a proper treatment has to be applied within 8 to 12 hours after the wound occurs so it can be treated without complications and difficulty. Therefore, don't be panicked in a daily situation where you are injured or wounded and try to clean the wounded area and control hemostasis. Then have it stitched up in a medical institution. It is the way not to leave ugly scars later.
