I think I need stitches, but I'm afraid of going to the hospital or calling my doctor. What will happen when I do?

The doctors will ask you how the accident occurred. They will disinfect the wound which may hurt and then they will stitch you up and may give you some antibiotics

They will be sympathetic. It's better to go in and be told you are fine than stay out and have something wrong.

Nothing. You won't feel a thing. Trust me. I had stitches near my eyebrows without anesthesia. I didn't shed a single tear. It was quick and helpful. And you don't even know if you need stitches for sure or not yet. Go to the hospital like a brave person, fake it till you make it. And ask them if you need stitches or not that too with or without anesthesia. They are just there to help you feel better. They will do their best to make you feel comfortable and will be more eager than you to send you back home quickly and happily.
