It depends on the size and location of the wound. If you nicked yourself shaving, you will probably only need to clean it. If it won't stop bleeding apply pressure. Just use water to clean the wound. If you have a serious cut you need to immediately apply pressure, clean, bandage and/or if it is bad enough, go to the hospital or call an ambulance. If it is severing a artery or vein, is close or penetrating a vital organ, or won't stop bleeding call an ambulance immediately and apply first aid as needed. If you have a minor cut just apply pressure to stop bleeding, clean, and bandage. Just make sure to periodically air the wound out. I recommend you take first aid classes for in depth training.
