Off Topic Dermabond?

I believe that's what it's called.. Anyway the night before thanksgiving my 2 year old cousin rammed his teeth into my forehead and I had to go get glued.... Does anyone know how long it will stay on it's been almost 3 days and it's already starting to come off. How long sure I make sure it stays on the dr at the urgent care didn't say anything just glued me and then left. Any help I'll appreciate!

Ouch! Is it staying together? I have no idea how long it will stay but I hope you and your little cousin are ok. That will be a story to tell him for years to come.

Yeah I know! Can't wait till he's older I didn't even know it was my head that was bleeding I thought it was his teeth!

Yes, Dermabond is a "skin superglue". It typically stays on for 4-5 days. As long as your skin edges are together, you should be fine. You could put a butterfly bandage on for extra support. Using an ointment on the Dermabond will cause it to come off sooner.
