Ooo that happened to me last week when I cut my finger on a can of green beans! My suggestion is to first, rinse the cut well and then put some neosporin or something similar onto it to keep the germs out. Then find some gauze or use a papr towels or somthing and wrap it up very tight and apply presuure for about 10 minutes. Then when the bleeding has slowed down, put a bandaid on tight on the cut. Hope all works out well for you.

don't press on it! Assuming it isn't a major cut, in which case, go to the hospital! - but just a small cut: wash it under running water for a few seconds, wrap a clean napkin or something around it, lift your hand up over your heart to let the blood flow out of your hand. Put a bandage on it. If it continues to bleed a lot after that, it's either a deeper cut than you think or you have some problem clotting. Call a doctor or go to the hospital. Good luck

First thing first you need to apply pressure to the cut to stop the bledding then after the bleeding has stopped see how deep it is if you need stiches or if you can just put some neosporin on it and a band-aid.

Use a bandage. Bandages stop the blood from falling everywhere, as well as giving it time to heal. Apply direct pressure. Use Ice. Hold your finger higher. These all decrease blood flow.

try putting it in ice water for 5 minutes and then wrapping it tight with a bandage (bandade). If it bleeds thru then you need stiches or a "butterfly closure" which can be bought at most drug stores.

How deep is the cut? If it's not very deep wash it out and put pressure on it as long as you need to until it stops. If it's deep then you'll probably need stitches. I once cut my thumb down to the bone on one of those cat food cans. I had to get 5 stitches. If you wait to long, and it does need stitches, they won't be able to give them too you. So don't wait if you think you might need stitches.

Wrap it tightly and ice it a bit. If you bleed a lot from a little cut like that you may want to see your doctor for a routine blood test. If your blood doesn't clot well it could be an early sign of anemia.
