super glue was originally developed as a surgical adhesive

I have personally used superglue to close wounds on my fingertips so I can at least be functional. I wouldn’t advise anyone else to do it.

First need to get everything extremely clean so as not to seal in any dirt. Then it needs to stop bleeding and dry it in a way that does not introduce any new dirt or other crap. Then can apply superglue in a layer, let the burning pass. I use a new little tube of it each time.

It’s annoying because it starts to peel at the edges and catch on things, so still need to be cautious. I think it slows down overall healing. I try to remove it during a shower and spend some time with a regular bandage over it to let it have normal healing time. If you can tolerate, clean dry cotton gauze (non stick if you can get it) kept on with minimum adhesive is better than a gunky sticky bandaid.
