Help! i cut myself w/ ceramic knife. staunched w/gauze 70 min. ago. still bleeding, now stings. arm a bit weak. small cut;might be deep. what do i do?

Need more info: Depends what the knife cut. Besides appearance of scar (which may not matter to you), you could have cut artery or vein leading to continued bleeding. If you cut a nerve, stinging pain is not so unusual but could cause weakness. You may need sutures to pull wound together to stop bleeding. It is often hard to hold wound together without pulling sides of cut together. Keep wound clean.
