I accidentally cut my finger (warning blood ment)

And it bled for hours and soaked through 2 different band-aids and a bandage 8-9 hours after the cut happened... that surely can't be normal? Am i dying?

Did you put a lot of pressure on it to help stop the bleeding?

I did that once even I was messing around with an xacto knife and I bled a lot

What you need to do is apply band aid butterfly stitch. close the wound tight and put thin strips of band aid across the wound like its being stitched together. then put a band aid over the top of it, it should reduce the bleeding a lot. its what i did when i cut my palm open by accident.

nope.
if it's still bleeding keep the pressure up and hold you hand above your heart.

are you taking any kind of blood thinner?

In the future, because I assume you’re still alive, When you cut yourself: Place a clean, dry bandage on it and apply firm direct pressure. DO NOT list the bandage to check on the cut; if it’s still bleeding, simply add another layer of bandage. Wrap it tightly, keep the area above the heart if possible and if pain allows, you can apply some ice to constrict the blood vessels.
Some areas bleed more than others. Just make sure you’re using a good antibacterial cream and are keeping the area dry and clean.

If it’s shallow you can pick up a styptic stick at the store. It stops bleeding. It’ll be in the area with like razors and shaving cream
Put heavy pressure on it. You gotta let it clot

And also get it checked if it continued for hours. Log out and go gurl

I had to quit taking aspirin as a part of my daily medication regimen because of bleeding.

You might have a clotting issue. That’s not normal, also it depends on how deep the cut was ofc. You should get some blood test done.

Apply pressure and if it doesn’t stop, you need to go to the hospital

Not dying, but get to an emergency room or doctor, it sounds like for some reason your blood's not clotting.
@BohoBabe i won't satisfy your bloody finger fetish 😶‍🌫️

@PetalsOfLilac What if I ask nicely?
No one dies from a cut on their finger, but you probably should see a doctor. It may need stitches.

Make sure you put pressure on it
Lostpoet · M
You might have an iron deficiency or something probably nothing serious but you should have it checked out.
ineedadrink · 56-60, M
To my barely educated mind, you lack clotting factor in your blood. Get checked it out sooner rather than later.

IF YOU'RE STILL HERE AND BLEEDING, GO! Take care of yourself.

You arent taking any prescription meds are you? Anything to prevent clotting? Got a pic of the cut?
perceptivei · 36-40, F
I really don't know. Did you apply enough pressure?

Maybe Google it?

No!

Google first aid. Nothing else. Lol

status update?
@Pretzel I'm pretty sure I'm fine, its a kinda nasty cut but no more blood and will be fine
Pretzel · 70-79, M
@PetalsOfLilac cool beans! thanks! and glad you didn't need a tranfusion or amputation :)
Sounds like you might have needed a suture or two.
Teslin · M
Maybe you need stiches?
pdockal · 56-60, M
You probably needed stitches
ChipmunkErnie · 70-79, M

Aren't we all dying, in the grand sceme of things?
Haha. Maybe you need stitches.
Get stitches
Bklynbadboy12 · 36-40, M

@stc615 slashed against glass

@PetalsOfLilac go er or clinic to be safe
basilfawlty89 · 36-40, M
You likely won't die, but you might have hurt it pretty badly. Disinfect, plaster it and apply pressure. Then go to the hospital, you might need stitches.
TrashCat · M
Yes. You're gonna die. Wrap it with a slice of raw bacon

@PetalsOfLilac it's in my nature. I'm homocidal 😃

@TrashCat Homicidal Goats taste excellent slow roasted on a spit over an open fire!
Goat 🐐 skin makes an excellent soccer ⚽ ball.
The head can be used as a substitute ⚽ while the skin is being tanned and prepared.
