This is a question DIY Surgery

Majoringram tells us: I once had a wart on my hand and went to the doc to get it frozen. It hurt, lots. Instead of having to go back for more, I got my trusty rambo knife and cut the thing off. Three years later, and not even a scar!

A fair amount of the time...
I tend to use Superglue to fix cuts closed. There are lots of theories that that's what the stuff was invented for, but frankly I don't care because it works a charm.

If it's going to be a hard-working area of the hand (fingertip for example) , I add a couple of layers of bog-roll tissue and stick them on as well to give myself a composite fingertip for the day. My missus has only busted me once "doin' the robot" and pretending I'm a Bionic man.

There is a special kind of superglue
For exactly this purpose. Has to be biodegradable rather than last for ever! Costs a fortune. I would always look at it when I was treating injuries but stuck (ha) with steristrips.

It wasn't invented for that use
But has been used for that purpose by many, including US medics in the Vietnam War.
