Did I cut my carotid artery?

2022-11-10 03:02:38
*Hi doctor, today I was cutting my under-chin and neck beard with clippers (looks like a small scissors used for cutting clothes and threads). *While doing so I guess, I got my neck skin in the cutting clippers. *Right now, I don't experience any pain or blood. *I just want to ask you if it's possible to cut carotid artery in neck, in this way.
