How Long Does Bleeding On The Thumb Take To Cease?
I just cut a piece of skin off the tip of my thumb. I’m holding it above my heart and putting pressure on it with paper towels. What should I do when it stops bleeding? And how long should I wait before it stops bleeding? It’s been a good 10 min already and still bleeding

Hi welcome to HCM.
I can understand your concern.
Dear,if you cut your skin, bleeding is a natural phenomenon and it is nature's blessing that bleeding stops by itself after a while and if the wound is small it gets healed on its own within few hours.
If wound is little bad it needs some remedy to stop bleeding and healing the wound.If we get wounded just press your wound with cotton balls dipped in calendula tincture the bleeding will stop within minutes and heal the wound very fast,depending upon the density of the wound.
Applying Turmeric powder is also very effective in healing wounds.It is an anteceptic,antioxident and antinflammatory. If the wound is serious,Turmeric Powder half spoon in a cup of hot milk helps healing fast and helps alley pain and distress.
Hope this helps you solve your query.
Take care.Get well soon.
