It is important to protect the cut or wound and save any further loss of blood. If the affected area is a part of the body that can be raised above the level heart then this will slow the flow of blood. Apart from this apply light coverings to the area affected, ensuring that you are not creating further problems, apply a loose fitting bandage and pressure to the wound site to help stem blood loss, then seek urgent medical help from your nearest hospital emergency department without delay.
