The photograph shows a chin laceration that was closed with skin glue (i.e., Dermabond).
It is used as an alternative to suturing for the repair of simple cuts. The appearance of wounds closed with tissue adhesive is as good as, and in some cases better, than suturing.
To apply, the wound edges are held firmly together and several coats of the glue are painted along the wound margins. The glue dries quickly, within 45-60 seconds. The glue will come off on its own as the wound heals and the top skin layer falls off, usually in about one week.
This scalp laceration (cut) is gaping open. It will require closure with sutures or medical staples.
