Keep some sterile strips in your first aid kit, won't help you this time, but next time at least you'll be able to pin it together so it will heal better |

"Bio oil but scars are cool."
lol scars are not cool! This cut is about a inch deep and 3inches long and its opened up so about half inch wide. Will look horrible! Plus iv got another even bigger scar on the other arm from when I was about 20 and that still looks shit |

"buy some arnica x tablets and cream x x
tablets???? What for??"
google arnica, its used for healing bruises, wounds etc from the inside out (tablets) and outside in (cream).
Bio oil is great too, but like others have said, not until its healed. Lavender oil has healing properties too, again, not until its begun to heal - never use anything on an open wound except sterile/salt water  |

Use moisturiser while its healing. Not too much though - something like e45 stops it getting too dry and then itchy.. Risking picking any scabbing off.
Bio oil once its healed. |

"Vitamin e liquid id suppsed to be good for helping skin heal. I lost quite a bit of skin off my face in an accident but used vit e oil and have hardly got a scar at all now"
really thats good to know.... Maybe it wont look as bad as I thought. But then again its about a inch deep so be lucky go away completely |

I think that size and depth you'll be lucky to limit the damage. |
