Suggest Treatment To Stop Continuous Bleeding
I accidentally clipped the skin on my scrotum while using clippers it took off the upper layer of skin the size of a captial O. I hit a tiny blood vessel and it wont stop bleeding. I have a bandage and a clamp on it. i had it on for 2 hours but as soon as i took it off it started bleeding again. so I have clamped a new bandage. this has been going on for 4-5 hours

Is it an ooze or active bleeding ? if an ooze let the pressure bandage stay fro about 4 hrs, if active bleeding then it would require a stitch. A pressure bandage in that area is difficult wear a tight underware with some cotton pads over the area. Consider having a BT CT done to rule out any bleeding disorder. Are you on long term aspirine ? Infection is very common in this area so plan to see a doctor.
