Do not keep washing repeatedly. ✅ Step 2: Apply firm direct pressure • Take clean gauze or a clean cloth • Press firmly over the cut • Do NOT remove it to check repeatedly • Maintain continuous pressure for 10 full minutes without lifting Most bleeding stops with uninterrupted compression. ✅ Step 3: Elevate the hand Keep the hand raised above heart level while pressing.
