I have a cut on my finger and I was wondering what should I do?

Question

I was using a knife to cut something open. One of those steak knifes and I got cut. It bleed for a while and then it stopped. When I hit something, it bleeds more. The cut is so deep that can see the red underneath my skin.

I was wondering what the red part is called and how can I treat my cut? I never had a cut bleed for so long. Please Help!!! I just done this yesterday and I am dealing with it today.

Answer 1

put alcohol and peroxide on it then use a band aid or bandage until you are able to buy some creme like neosporen and antibacterial creme. Wrap tight but not to tight. If havent gotten better in a few hours get medical help before it gets infected.

Answer 2

You need to wash it gently, and put some neosporin on it. - If it is still bleeding when you touch things after a few days, go see a doctor.

Hope I helped! :)
