That all depends on the person and the depth of the cut, where the cut is etc...
If it is severe, on a vein, bleeding profusely, go to the doctor or call 911 immediately.
If it's a little cut that is just pestering, try pouring white sugar on it. The sugar does NOT burn at all, you won't feel it. The sugar will help to clot the cut. It will soak up the blood and create a makeshift scab until the blood will clot on it's own. Don't peel it off, wash it clean with warm water and antibacterial soap after at least an hour.

∙ 12y agoMinor bleeding, as on the skin or on the tongue, will normally stop within a minute. Deeper cuts will take longer. Applying direct pressure should stop the bleeding within a minute or two. If a blood vessel is damaged, a cut may not clot immediately, even when pressure is applied to the wound. Bleeding may also continue internally.
Persistent bleeding or bruising can be a sign of more serious illness. Consult a medical professional for any uncontrolled bleeding.

What should you do if the combination elevation and direct pressure do not control the bleeding?
The loss of a small amount of blood will cause no problem for a healthy adult, loss of one liter of blood is life-threatening and the loss of two litres is fatal.The first step to control bleeding is the application of direct pressure to the wound using a dressing or a clean cloth. An assisting person should wear gloves to protect from the blood-borne diseases HIV and hepatitis.A bleeding extremity should be elevated above the level of the heart. In cases of severe, persistent bleeding, application of pressure where a local artery can be pressed against the bone to slow the bleeding.Bleeding from the upper extremities is controlled by putting pressure on the 'biracial artery', which may be pressed against the arm bone by a push inward along the natural groove between the bicep and triceps.Bleeding from the lower extremities is controlled by putting pressure on the 'femoral artery', which is found in the groin.*It is important not to leave the pressure on too long, as this may cause damage to tissues supplied by arteries past the pressure point.*
What is the first aid of bleeding?
Using cleangauze or a clean white cloth, apply pressure to the wound, for several minutes. If the injury is on one of the extremities; IE: arm, hand, leg or foot, try to elevate it to a position that is higher than the heart, while maintaining pressure on the site of the bleeding. Do NOT remove the gauze/cloth to check if bleeding has stopped. If blood comes through the gauze or cloth, do NOT remove it. Apply more gauze/cloth on top of the first and apply pressure again. It is very important that you do not remove the gauze/cloths. In fact, they must be secured to the wound. When you don't see the blood coming through the gauze/cloths, use another roll of gauze or long strips of cloth to wrap around the area, to secure the gauze/cloths to the wound. Depending on the severity of the bleeding/blood lost, either take the injured to receive professional medical attention, or call an ambulance to take the injured to the hospital.

Why do scalp wounds bleed profusely but heal rapidly?
A lot of blood is sent to the head because the human brain is so large and needs so much energy. Also, the skin on the head is a little on the thin side, so a lot of blood can force it's way out of a comparatively thin cut, since there's very little intervening dermis and hypodermis.
Are newspapers sterile?
No. News papers are not sterile, but hey when you are in a pinch, use what you have got available. So long as you are not dealing with an open fracture it should be ok.
