Will I be able to tough it out?
Had a little more than 200 lbs crash on my face tonight and split just above my eyelid, fairly deep near to the bone and roughly an inch across. kept it pressed and the bleeding stopped; however its still gaping. I've been flushing it with rubbing alcohol to keep it clean; i'm assuming it'll heal just fine without stitches. But I'm asking just to be sure so i don't lose an eye to infection or something.
I'm not suffering any concussions, or brain rattling/injury;the cut is the only evidence that something even happened

Hey there hitler guy, stop flushing it with alcohol. Get some steri-strips if you aren't going to get it stitched. As far as preventing infection use saline solution (salt water) instead of rubbing alcohol, to kill any bacteria by osmosis.

Get help. If you're in that bad a shape, you could loose more than an eye. Brain damage could have happen, and that can kill you without you ever knowing. Not getting medical attention is the worse thing you can do right now.

Seriously you should go in to be checked out. #1 you should get stitches in order for it to heal right #2 they may do a cat scan to make sure you don't have any contusion on the brain #3 they may feel you need a tetanus shot please be checked out tonight.
