please reply :/ urgent
 

hi

i've cut and it's been about an hour and the wound is still bleeding.
It doesn't bleed really bad but it does bleed and it hasn't stopped.
Should I see someone?
Or any advice?

Maybe the discription is a bit low on details but I didn't know what I could or could not type. because of triggers.

thanks a lot!

hi, sorry this is a bit late reply, hope you're ok

i can't really be sure unless i know how deep the cut is but for the moment if it is still bleeding then apply pressure with a clean cloth (nothing fluffy) if it bleeds through that then put another cloth on top and keep going until the blood stops coming through, holding it above your heart (assuming that's possible) should also stop bleeding

once you have stopped the bleeding if it is gaping (more than a couple of mm wide) then use steri-strips to close it (if you have any) this will stop it re-opening and help prevent scarring,

if it is not gaping then it can be left but try and cover it if possible, if you are still worried then do go and see a doctor if you would feel safer

i hope you are ok and that this helps, look after yourself

I think they say if it is bleeding for longer than 10 minutes, you should go to A&E to get yourself checked. xxxx

How is the wound now?
