What is the best after Mohs surgery, open wound or stitches?

After Mohs surgery last week I had a wound about the size of a quarter. The doctor gave me the option of stiitches or open wound. He said stitches would leave a long scar about 3,inches and is easier to get infected. He said an open wound would heal and gradually get smaller. The decision was so difficult. I didn’t feel like the doctor really advised me well and I am finding this gross open wound hard to deal with. Any advise?
