Platelets and proteins in your blood work together to stop the bleeding by forming a clot over the injury. Your body holds more than a gallon of blood, so you usually have time to use pressure or a tourniquet to stop the flow of blood so that the bleeding will stop.
The thing to do is to run the cut under cold water for about 10 Minutes, if the bleeding hasn't stop (if you have paper cut your finger) keep running the cold water, or if it has you need to then cover it with a plaster, but before you put on the plaster on put Sudocream where bleeding and leave it to have air to it for a couple of minutes and then wash the bleeding area with cold water and Kitchen Roll and then put on the plaster and if the cold water doesn't work the second time Contact your local doctors.

∙ 11y agoI usually take a tissue and press it to the bleeding spot and hold it there for a little while. At the most 5 minutes. Then I put some Neosporin on it and put a band aid over that. Hope this helps!
