How to treat a wound
Apply pressure to the wound to stop the bleeding.

Available options:
[a]. Do not put pressure on the wound for any longer than 15 to 30 minutes or until your doctor gives you the go ahead. Applying too much pressure may damage your wound.;
[b]. The pressure will help slow the bleeding and promote clotting. If the wound is on an arm, hand, leg, or foot, you can also slow the bleeding by raising it above your heart.;
[c]. Before applying the bandage, be sure to find the fold that the wound is on, and press firmly against it to keep the wound shut. Let the bandage dry before cleaning your wound with a new one, as you do not want to press down hard enough.;
[d]. Avoid applying pressure to a cut or lacerations to stop the bleeding. Be sure to clean and dry the wound with clean paper towels before you apply gentle pressure to it.;
[b].
