There is a difference between actively bleeding and blood seeping from a wound. If you uncover the wound and a little blood wells up in the wound and that is it, that isn't a critical issue. If you uncover the wound and blood starts running down your leg, that is an issue.
If the wound is seeping the best thing is to get some wound care supplies like non stick gauze and steri-strips and dress the wound properly. You can also get this done at a doctor's office.
If the wound is actively bleeding, then you absolutely need to go to the doctor.
