What is the best way of stopping bleeding from a fresh cut on your finger?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Cut on the finger : The first aid for cuts to stop bleeding is to apply pressure to the wound. This a generalization. Some cuts need stitches, some finger cuts are so deep you need to apply pressure on the arteries to stop the bleeding
