Hi,

Apply bandage on it. First clean with Povidine. If it is stoppable it is fine, otherwise, you need to go to the ER and need antibiotics and tetanus. If it is not taken, it may require a stitch or 2.

Take care. Hope I have answered your question. Let me know if I can assist you further.

Regards,
Dr. Sunny Madar, General & Family Physician
