Apply pressure: A cut that stops bleeding in five minutes in this location probably did not hit a major vessel. If the bleeding continues you probably should see your healthcare provider for evaluation and probable stitches. If the bleeding stops cleaning it with something like peroxide then applying an antibody appointment keeping it covered and clean. If redness and swelling - see healthcare provide.
