Hi everyone,
Earlier, I was cutting some 5-inch squares for quilt kits, and I cut myself right across the inside of my knuckle on my index finer. Since then I've been fine, but even now as i'm typing I can feel it re-opening a little and bleeding, should I compress it? It's just a finger... |
Liquid bandaid
|
what's that?
|
Apply pressure to it to stop the bleeding. I've cut myself many times with my rotary cutter and there's something about the clean cut that likes to bleed. I also pour peroxide on it to clean it real good.
|
You get Liquid bandaide at the drugstore in the first aid aisle. Another thing that works to heal any cut or sore quicker is a triple antibiotic ointment on a regular bandaide for a few days. I use a generic/store brand of Neosporin. Make sure it's "ointment" & not the cream.
|
In a pinch, use brush-on super glue. Yes, it works! Just ask my woodworking husband. He swears by it.
|
Use peroxide only at the initial cleaning, though... it is pretty tough on healing wounds and should only be used initially. You might have to give the wound a little healing time??
So sorry!! |

Super glue for me! Works quickly and doesn't sting as badly as the liquid bandaid. Sorry about the mishap, those "tiny" cuts seem to last forever!
