It depends. It is quite normal for a friction burn to sting for hours but if there is an open wound then i would recomend a doctor. If the cut is quite deep and wide then see a doctor.
Make sure you clean the wound with antiseptic, this will sting as well lol!

depends if its a laceration or a normal scratch wound.
if its just a scratch then just clean it with tappid anti septic water and put a clean dry dressing on it.
if its a cut and its deep go to the dr so he or she can clean it for you with a good antiseptic and put a sterile dressing on it
good luck i hope it feels better soon

sometimes i'm getting slightly gabby, yet then preview and attempt to sparkling issues out. i've got in no way performed the shrink/paste factor in an answer nonetheless. The long solutions do no longer situation me yet i'm extra apt to envision the quick and to the element solutions.
