Okay so the stitches got removed. I don't even put any gauze or anything on my head anymore.


I don't think I had a concussion from the fall. I have no idea about that.

I have another question that is sort of related to this. I cut my finger really deep with a knife and fell on the floor as well not long ago after the first incident and I been putting gauze to cover it up as opposed to a bandage. Is it better to instead cover these areas with a bandage instead as I figure if you have gauze covering on your finger or your leg, you would get asked a lot of questions?


Is there any issue with doing that on the day I fly or just put a bandage in those areas and nothing else? The thing is if I put honey on it as I have been doing, well it's obvious that my finger is wet and moist from it. I have a very deep cut on my finger and some scraps on legs and bruises from another fall not related to the first situation so I wanted to know if it's fine or not. Do people who wear bandages for cuts on their fingers or legs get screened additionally?


Better to just do what I been doing so with gauze and honey or should I only use gauze and no honey or forgot about both that day and just put a regular bandage in those areas?


Thanks.
