U HAVE SCRATCHED OFF: ..the dermal layer, &amp; have a full thickness loss over the vein. elevate, ice, mild pressure &amp; it will stop bleeding and heal. use an antibiotic cream, was often with soap and H2O. next time have some OTC steroid cream handy, &amp; apply it 2 an area U start 2 scratch, &amp; hands off.
