Suggest Treatment For Skin Cut On Scrotum
accidentally cut myself on the scrotum, not a large cut, but it seems to take a long time for the blood to coagulate, even with applied pressure. been applying it with some paper, which stops the bøeeding, but this seems to resume the moment I take it away. I have maintained a steady pressure (as much as i could with hands growing tired and some repositioning for comfort) for nearly an hour, only to have bleeding resume. have also tried a shower, and letting it breathe, neither to any avail what should i do?

In short: If bleeding is not stopping, then visit surgeon immediately.
Explanaton: Usually bleeding can be stopped by pressure. If not visit a surgeon immediately. Go fast. Till then apply pressure with your hand. Good luck.
