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.
I feel like i’m looking sensory organs because the water taste weird now and my eyes are watery.
but it might just be paranoia and staring at the monitor.
I just ran out of paper towel. TP is the only thing i have to use left.
Its not exactly a cut. It may be less than a scrape.
In the past hr. It has accumulated some extra blood on the “cut” area. But i think it’s going to stablize pretty soon. What you think?
