Answer 2

why are you here asking that question GO TO A HOSPITAL MAN

Answer 3

I'm trusting you when you say it's a MINOR head wound. Scalp cuts usually bleed quite a bit. If you apply gentle pressure for a couple of minutes, it should stop. How did you injure your head? If you banged it hard enough to cut it, you could have a concussion. If you start to vomit, have a bad headache, or get dizzy or sleepy, you should go to the ER and get checked out. If the cut continues to bleed for more than 10 minutes or so, you might need stitches. Be sure to keep the cut very clean so that you don't get infected.  

Answer 4

but ice on it and see a doctor.

Answer 5

like any wound... it does bleed more than most wounds.  if it is in the hair line just use pressure a to stop the blood flow and let it scab over.  Tomorrow you may want to forgo washing your hair so that you don't break the scab.

Answer 6

What you should do first is clean it with an antiseptic wipe, but it depends on how big the wound is. If you have a first aid kit, put it to use and see if you have a bandage for it. Now if it keeps bleeding after 2 hours then i suggest you go to the hospital.. I hope your head gets beter soon -- also you should ring upp ur mom and let her know what has happened

Answer 7

Ask your mom she is the best source in medical thing that is what i hope.

Answer 8

If you hit your head hard do see a doc! You could have brain damage. ESPECALLY IF YOU GET HEADACHES.

If it is just a cut and there is no bruising it whould be ok, have a friend look if you can't see.

Make sure no hair is in the wound. Clean it with soap and water or a dab or rubbing alcohol. You may do this in the shower if you want. It might not be possible to put a bandage on it so just leave it be and keep it clean.

Answer 9

go to the doctors!

Answer 10

Clean well. Butterfly bandage. If you feel sleepy, dizzy, or like puking, go to the doctor.  

Answer 11

I don't know, man, I'm no doctor, but I would rinse it off, put a bandage on it, and, if it's a deep cut, maybe get some stitches or something. It happened to me once at school, my head slammed against a fence.
