First aid for someone who got their arm cut?
9 doctors weighed in across 2 answers
Laceration: The most important points to make is to control bleeding with some type of pressure and keep the wound clean. If you have tap water available then make sure the cut is clean before applying a dressing. If not then keep it covered until you are able to clean the cut.

Arm cut: Clean with an antiseptic and apply a sterile bandage.
