Q&A: Bumped by Head on the Window. Its Bleeding Now!!! Help Quick !!?
Question by Hank: Bumped by head on the window. Its bleeding now!!! Help Quick !!?
As i was getting out of the chair, i bumped my head against the bottem part of the window right above my head. Immediately, my instinct pulled my head back down.
Symptoms:
The 1 inch cut has been bleeding gradually for the past 10 minutes.
1st concern: IMPORTANT
Here is what i did about it: i want to know if it was safe and if i should worry about the cut.
1. I went ahead and washed my hair and the cut with just warm water.
2. dried it with tolipaper.
3. I tapped some tolipaper on the cut to get rid of the blood every minute or so.
4. I didn’t have 1st aid alcohol, so i used hand sanitizer (62% alcohol – “ethyl alcohol” i believe)
5. i squeeze it onto some tolipaper and wiped on the cut.
6. Then i attempt to cover the cut with two band-aids, but it didn’t work very well as you can imagine.
2st concern: how is it bleeding when there is no skin thats scraped (i observed this in the mirror).
Someone please help me!! I’m still worried about infection and other stuff.
No its not a cut. Doesn’t even look like a scrape. Sorry for the confusion. As of right now, with out the band aids on, more blood has accumulated on the “cut” area.
I was hoping everyone would say “it’s going to be fine”.
But it turns out half of answers are suggesting me to go to the hospital……
I’m getting worried more than before.
about 1 hr later, I think the bleeding have stopped because hte accumlated blood hasn’t changed in size.
Now, i feel a slight burn on left side of the back of of my head(lower left).
Is there any chance i’ll go into a state of coma when i go to sleep like in concussions?

Head wounds always bleed a lot. Go to the doctor if you’re concerned.
