General Surgeon,  's  Response
Hello,

If the wounds are not wide apart, nothing much to worry and it will heal by itself. If the wounds are gaped, taping with steristrips must be required.

Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.

Take care

Regards,
Dr. Shinas Hussain
