...go to the doctor and get stitches...
Reply:Pressure will help stop the bleeding. You might want to go to the ER and have it sutured or bandaged. A tetnus shot would also be a good idea if you aren't up to date.
Reply:you need to go see a doctor urgent
Reply:Uh...u cant be hurting or bleeding that baaaad...ur typing! Go to a local clinic so that they can determine whether or not u need stitches.
Reply:Direct pressure to the area, using a clean cloth (a paper towel is good). Press (hard) it onto the wound until it stops bleeding. Press for a few minutes at a time before checking. When the bleeding stops, put antibiotic ointment on it and seal the flap with butterfly bandages (find at the pharmacy). If it hasn't stopped bleeding within 20 minutes, go to the ER.





The tetnus shot recommendation is excellent.
Reply:You need stitches dude. Don't joke around with something like that. Quickest way to get an infection and loose a finger.
Reply:you really need to see the Doctor about it and they will put snitches in it to help it and they might give u something for it to
Reply:Put allot of pressure on it. Good luck dude!
Reply:Direct pressure with clean cloth.


Elevate above your heart.


If bleeding, does not stop in like 5 minutes CALL 911.


In any case you WILL need sutures, so go to ER A.S.A.P.!


NOTE: DO NOT apply any type of tourniquet. If you do you could, cut off blood flow to your arm. And it will have to be amputated.
