Learned this from a work injury. Even waiting a few hours before you get stitches to pull the gap closer together will leave a scar, albeit a small one. The body doesn't have time to wait on your slow ass; it's repairing right away (once the bleeding stops).

Got it - keep the wound bleeding until I can stitches so it won't scar.

Instructions unclear. I am bleeding to death.
