This question is very vague. What kind of open wound? Any open wound that needs stitching means attending hospital. If stitches are not needed, then normal first-aid will do: Wash the wound with an antiseptic solution, cover with a sterile pad, bandage or use a plaster. Change the covering in a day or two, until healed.
