Small cuts

The razor blade itself is very sharp. In the process of shaving, not only hair is removed, but also the upper protective layer - the epithelium. Men with sensitive skin feel special discomfort, burning sensation. Small cuts appear on the damaged areas, which do not pose a great danger. However, they can be quite painful and require treatment.

  1. Simple washing with clean hot or cold water. The physical properties of high temperature and cold water are the same. When they act on the affected skin, the vessels contract again, and the blood stops.
  2. Hydrogen peroxide or Chlorhexidine. On a piece of gauze or napkin, apply one of the antiseptics, press it firmly against the wound. Aggressive - alcohol, brilliant green, iodine, vodka is not recommended to use after a cut with a razor. They will burn the epithelium, therefore, the wound will heal much longer.
  3. Pencil. For ease of use, antiseptic preparations are produced in the form of special styptic pencils. They contain various components that constrict blood vessels and stop the blood.
  4. Soda solution. Dissolve a tablespoon of baking soda in a glass (200 ml) of warm water, dip a bandage in the liquid and press it to the damaged area.
  5. Napkin. Cutting an ordinary napkin into small squares, attach it to the damaged skin. The napkin absorbs blood well, accelerates its clotting.

Deep cut

The razor leaves behind more than just a perfectly smooth surface. If used carelessly, deep, painful cuts can appear on the face.

  1. An effective way to stop the blood is to squeeze the cut. Take a gauze pad or clean towel and press down on the wound. It is not only the force of pressing that matters, but also the time (10-15 minutes).
  2. Healing ointments, creams, gels. After stopping blood at the site of injury, care should be taken to accelerate wound healing. Will help Traumeel ointment, Tyrosur gel, any other ointments that contain calendula. By stimulating the production of natural collagen, they quickly regenerate damaged tissues.
  3. Alum. Natural minerals are widely used in medicine and cosmetology. Alunite has astringent properties, shrinks pores and capillaries, and can reduce swelling and redness. Alum only partially disinfects the wound. They cannot be considered from the point of view of a full-fledged antiseptic. Therefore, it is recommended to use them especially for cuts after a razor on the face, without abuse.
  4. If you cut yourself with a razor, traditional medicine should not be ignored. For instance, olive oil blend and beeswax, in addition to the moisturizing effect, it perfectly heals and relieves irritation.
  5. If the blood doesn't stop. There is no time to waste - you should urgently call a doctor. You may be underestimating the severity of the cut and the wound will need to be stitched up.

Methods for stopping blood on the lip

The surface of human skin is littered with blood vessels. There are especially many small capillaries in them. Therefore, when a lip is cut with a razor, first aid should be provided immediately to avoid severe bleeding.

  1. Gauze swab. With minor injuries and normal clotting, the blood will stop within a couple of minutes. You just need to take a cotton or gauze swab and press it to your lip. Keep this way for about 10 minutes.
  2. Peroxide. To cleanse and disinfect debris, rinse the wound on the lip. Pour hydrogen peroxide solution onto gauze or bandage, apply to the cut for a couple of minutes.
  3. Cold will help stop the blood on the lip. A piece of ice or frozen food is ideal. By acting with cold, you help the vessels to constrict. This will be followed by a blood stop.
  4. With a significant cut, when there is no way to stop the blood on your own, seek medical help... You should not continue to fight to stop the blood on the lip, it is unsafe for health.

What to do when a mole is cut

If you are not lucky enough to touch a mole while shaving, stay calm. Everything is not so scary, you just need to know a few elementary ways to handle the damage site.

  1. To stop the blood, press a bandage soaked in an antiseptic to the mole. This will take longer than a normal cut (20 minutes).
  2. See a dermatologist. Only a specialist makes a decision on further actions. The mole may need to be removed.
  3. Take a closer look at the mole. If the size, color, shape remained as before the injury, then there is no reason to worry. If your mole changes, see your doctor for help.
  4. The first time after damage to the skin with a blade, you will have to give up sunbathing (solarium). It is not recommended to use oils, creams, decorative cosmetics to avoid infections.

What not to do

It is forbidden to disinfect the wound with colognes - this will lead to pigmentation. Do not remove dirt with foreign objects. The wound should be rinsed with Hydrogen Peroxide. To stop the blood, you should not fill the wound with powder preparations - there will be no proper effect, but the wound will become dirty.

When to see a doctor

Depending on the situation:

  • if a shard of blade is stuck in the cut wound, which cannot be reached on your own;
  • the presence of swelling, redness around the wound is not the norm, but the harbingers of infection;
  • when the bleeding is severe and there is no way to apply a tourniquet on your own;
  • if the color, size, shape of the damaged mole changes, itching occurs.

Safe shaving technique

Remember these simple first aid procedures for cuts and you will keep your skin healthy.

Abrasions on the knees, cut legs - any person can face this. Therefore, it is useful to have a hemostatic agent in every home. In this article, we will consider effective ways to stop various bleeding.

Source of hemorrhage Is always an injured vessel. Not all vessels in the human body are the same; in terms of the size of the lumen, they differ from the smallest - capillaries, to the largest - arteries.

Depending on their size, the severity of bleeding will differ:

  • Capillary;
  • Venous;
  • Arterial.

Capillary bleeding


Capillary - this is the unusual name for the smallest vessel in the body. Hemorrhage from these vessels was observed by everyone who unsuccessfully fell on their knees in childhood. The blood does not flow out in a stream, but seeps onto the surface of the abrasion in small droplets... A similar bleeding occurs with a cut with a blade.

It is harmless to life, but it is good to know what to do if you cut yourself after shaving:

  • The abrasion is washed with cold clean water... This eliminates the contamination of the wound. In the case of a minor abrasion, the bleeding will stop already at this stage.
  • Be sure to need any antiseptic from the first aid kit... Ordinary iodine is also useful. But we will tell you about the best and most convenient hemostatic drugs below.
  • If the antiseptic stings, only the cut edges can be processed.
  • Apply a clean bandage. It should not be tight, because the purpose of its application in case of an abrasion is not to stop the blood, but to protect it from pollution.
  • Do not use cotton wool or cotton pads for abrasion.- their fibers will remain in the wound and begin to become inflamed. It is best to use a sterile bandage or clean cotton cloth.

Minor abrasions and cuts heal quickly, after a couple of days the bandage is removed. At this point, bleeding from the dried crust may resume. Therefore, it is better not to pull off the bandage. It is pre-moistened with hydrogen peroxide or chlorhexidine.

Venous bleeding

The blood in the veins is deep cherry color, very dark. The hemorrhage itself can be significant, because the lumen of the veins is wide, much larger than that of the capillaries. Such a wound occurs when the leg is cut with a razor if the vein is superficial.

But do not be afraid, wounding one vein is not dangerous, especially if you quickly and correctly provide assistance:

  • If the wound is contaminated, then rinse quickly with cold water.
  • We treat the surface with an antiseptic trying to get into the wound itself.
  • We put on a tight sterile bandage. When it is applied, the injured limb is raised in order to reduce the likelihood of edema below the bandage. The wound is tightly bandaged with a large number of turns.

These measures will help stop small-volume venous bleeding. But what to do in case of severe bleeding, when a tight bandage does not stop the blood at all?

In this situation, a tourniquet should be applied:

  • If you don't have a drugstore harness at hand, then a belt, tie or belt will do.
  • A tourniquet for venous bleeding is applied below the wound, because the blood flow in the veins is from the bottom up.
  • The tourniquet should be covered with clothing or cloth; it should not be applied to the naked body.
  • Tightening the tourniquet observe the bleeding- when superimposed correctly, it stops.

Be sure to check for pulsation of the arteries below the wound in the radial artery of the arm or in the artery in the dorsum of the foot between the big and second toes. The venous tourniquet compresses only the superficial veins, so the pulsation must be felt.

A tourniquet for severe venous bleeding only complements the pressure bandage... After an hour, try to loosen the tension on the tourniquet - if bleeding has resumed, you should go to the emergency department. There is a risk that the rupture of the vein is very large and cannot be dealt with with improvised means.

Arterial bleeding


The rarest type of blood loss is when bright, scarlet blood pulsates from the wound, in time with the beating of the heart.

Blood loss with such a deep wound very quickly reaches critical values, so they immediately call an ambulance or begin transportation to the emergency department, while providing assistance:

  1. Do not wash or dab such a wound.- this will be done by the doctors when the bleeding is stopped.
  2. A tourniquet is applied above the wound since arterial blood flow is from top to bottom. As with venous hemorrhage, any piece of tissue that can tighten the limb will do.
  3. A cloth or piece of clothing is placed under the tourniquet.
  4. The tourniquet is tightened tight, much stronger than venous. This is due to the deeper location of the arteries in the tissues.
  5. The correct arterial tourniquet survives the artery, so the pulsation below the wound cannot be felt.
  6. Necessarily a note with the overlay time is attached to the harness... You should use the 24-hour clock format, this will eliminate the double interpretation of time.
  7. The tourniquet cannot be held for more than 2-3 hours.... If the victim did not get to the doctor during this time, then the place of bleeding is tightly pinched with a finger, and the tourniquet is temporarily weakened for 15-20 minutes.

Than stop the bleeding


If you experience minor bleeding, such as from a cut on your finger with a knife, or if you accidentally touch the lips with the blade while shaving, no medical attention is needed. You just need to use the means to stop the blood and treat the wound.

Hemostatic drugs for cuts and wounds

Which should be in any first aid kit:

  • Hydrogen peroxide;
  • Chlorhexidine bigluconate;
  • Baneocin.

Baneocin is available in a convenient powder form, so it can be used to quickly stop bleeding from a small abrasion and additionally disinfect it. If hydrogen peroxide is used, then you should remember about burning and pinching when using it.... An aqueous solution of chlorhexidine does not have such an undesirable effect - this agent usually does not cause discomfort when it comes into contact with the wound.

On a leg or toe after a cut with a blade

The best way to stop bleeding is cold water or ice. They cause vasoconstriction and prevent bleeding from continuing. Therefore, if there are no means at hand to stop bleeding, you should hold the limb under running cold water.

Video - how to stop bleeding when you cut

But there are situations when everything is done to stop the blood, but the bleeding continues. In this case, we can talk about delayed coagulation. Among the most common reasons why the blood does not stop for a long time is a low level of platelets.

Also, severe bleeding can be caused by:

  • Lack of proteins - clotting factors;
  • Lack of vitamins C and rutin;
  • Taking medications that thin the blood - warfarin, aspirin.

In this case, even a small wound will be a reason for seeking medical help.

Cuts on the legs are distinguished by the degree of tissue damage.

They can be shallow and complex, with damage to the skin, muscle fibers, tendons, blood vessels. Unlike closed wounds, in which the skin remains intact and the bones and tissues are damaged, cuts on the legs are always open.

Razor injury

In most cases, blade cuts are caused by blunt shaving.

Without delving into the causes of cuts, let's consider what to do in this case:

  1. It is necessary to understand the severity of the injury, then the wound is washed and not touched by hands.
  2. If nothing is at hand, then you can wash the wound with soap, preferably not household soap, but children's soap, and soak it with a clean cloth. The purpose of this treatment is to stop the bleeding, so the leg is placed so that the cut is as high as possible.
  3. The cut is pinched. After a few minutes, the blood stops.
  4. They are treated with an antiseptic.
  5. The bandage is changed daily, and after 2-3 days it can be removed.

Damage to connective tissue

A deep wound with a cut in the tendons is not treated.

After stopping the bleeding with a tight bandage, strong clamping or tourniquet, the victim is assisted.

Surgery is almost always necessary, it must be performed within the first 6 hours after the injury, in extreme cases - within the first 24 hours. Surgery has special microsurgical equipment for this.

The operation is performed under local anesthesia. At the end of the operation, a plaster cast is applied to the damaged area.

Cuts are caused by careless handling of sharp objects. Wounds are characterized by smooth edges and profuse bleeding, which in the first minutes washes away dirt and microbes. Most often, wounds heal well.

  • the victim must take such a position of the body in which the injured part is in a calm, relaxed state;
  • if possible, do not touch the tissue with bare hands to avoid infection;
  • immediately after the cut, it is necessary to ensure that the wound is protected from the effects of microorganisms, for this it is covered with a sterile napkin or wrapped with a bandage; in the absence of sterile material, use a dry cloth, preferably ironed or disinfected;
  • stop bleeding; if the wound is deep, when choosing between stopping blood and the risk of infection, priority is always given to preventing blood loss, since we are talking about saving the victim's life;
  • if it is deep, without prescribing treatment or consulting a doctor, medications are not used, since they interfere with the necessary procedures;
  • foreign bodies are removed by the doctor, because self-extraction can lead to profuse bleeding, behind which there is a danger of death; the leg is fixed before being examined by a doctor;
  • the first medical aid should be provided in the first 6 hours.

Minimal damage can provoke tetanus, so preventive vaccination should not be neglected.

All wounds, except minor scratches, should be treated by a doctor to prevent infection.

Medicines

The use of dressings depends on the severity of the injury. There are traditional and new modern medical devices: adhesive plaster, liquid plaster, bandage, special nebulizers.

Non-spillable bottles of antiseptic are on sale.

Cut wounds are treated:

  • chlorhexidine;
  • furacilin;
  • hexamidine;
  • potassium permanganate;
  • hydrogen peroxide.

They are good because they do not contain alcohol. The use of coloring antiseptics is not recommended. They paint over the wound, as a result of which the healing process is not visible.

You cannot use two or more antiseptics at the same time, as their chemical compounds in the compound can interfere with healing.

Therapy methods

Damage to large vessels is always accompanied by severe bleeding; in these cases, the victim should be examined by a vascular surgeon.

Suspected nerve damage should be followed by consultation with a neurologist or neurosurgeon. He checks the affected leg for sensitivity.

The damaged muscles are fixed with catgut, the vessels are tied, tendons and nerves are sutured.

After the injury, no more than 6 hours should pass.

Before this, the wound is washed with furacilin and hydrogen peroxide, layer by layer is sutured and drainage is inserted. The damaged tendon is strengthened with a splint or plaster cast.

The doctor prescribes antibiotics and anesthetics. The drainage is removed for 2-3 days, the damage heals with a favorable course for 7-10 days. Tendon repair procedures are prescribed individually.

After a cut on the left or right leg, can the foot swell?
This is a very dangerous symptom of the inflammatory process. It is called panaritium caused by purulent accumulations.

Accompanied by felon:

  • high fever;
  • twitching in the area of ​​the cut;
  • edema;
  • limited movement.

The disease develops rapidly. Pus gets inside.

Having found at least one of the signs of panaritium, it is necessary to urgently consult a surgeon. Lack of treatment causes tissue necrosis and sepsis. Timely assistance provided will save the patient from surgical intervention.

Conservative treatment consists in taking warm baths of a pink solution of potassium permanganate, after which the finger is wrapped with a bandage with dioxidine ointment or levomekol.

If an artery is affected

If you lose a lot of blood, your doctor will measure your blood pressure.

If the pulse is less than 100 beats per minute, the pressure is more than 90 mm Hg. pillar, blood transfusion is not required.

For any other symptoms, a blood transfusion is performed:

  • large blood loss;
  • low pressure;
  • rapid heart rate.

If the wound was more than 24 hours ago, no stitches are applied, the cut is washed, cleaned, drainage is inserted, pain relievers and antibacterial agents are prescribed. Recovery procedures are carried out after complete healing.

Forecast

The prognosis for recovery depends on: the location of the cut, its depth, the absence or presence of damaged nerves, tendons, and blood vessels.

Most often, an antiseptic treatment and a tight bandage are enough for healing. However, some diseases (for example, diabetes mellitus) impede the rapid healing of wounds and can cause purulent and other complications. In such cases, special treatment is prescribed.

Stopping bleeding

If a leg cut is accompanied by heavy bleeding, pressure should be applied to the wound to stop it. If there is someone nearby, you can ask him to bring a bandage, any material for dressing.

The injured limb should be raised if possible. You need to make a pad to stop bleeding from the purest material that is at hand. A handkerchief, a piece of clean clothing, is useful for this.

The gasket must be pressed tightly to the cut until the bleeding stops completely, the arrival of an ambulance. If the first pad you put on the cut is wet, you don't need to remove it.

Make a new one and put it on top of the wet. If the blood has stopped, you can tightly bandage the wound with any dressing material.

If you cut your leg, and there is no dressing at hand, you should squeeze the edges of the cut with your hands, it is allowed to press your hand into the wound.

Traditional methods

Subsequently, you can heal the wound with folk remedies (in the country, in the forest, in the field).

The following herbs and components have healing properties:

  • propolis;
  • willow bark;
  • St. John's wort and plantain leaves.

If it festers, you can use the folk method: apply a freshly cut aloe leaf, it draws pus from the wound. As soon as the pus disappears, you can lubricate the place with sea buckthorn oil.

Be sure to show the abscess to the doctor and advise on the use of these funds. In some cases, only medication is required. In case of complications, only a doctor can help.

The key to quick healing is the timely disinfection of the cut with antiseptics and the restoration of muscle tissue. It is better not to self-medicate, but to treat a small open wound and seek help from a doctor.

In case of severe injury, you need to call an ambulance or go to a medical facility, where they will provide effective treatment from the first days.

Change the bandage you have applied 2 times a day to keep it clean.

When the first symptoms of infection appear, you need to contact a traumatologist. The development of infection is indicated by redness, suppuration, fever, increased soreness in the area of ​​the cut.

There is not a single person in the world who has never faced the problem of minor domestic injuries. The most common types of household injuries involved are cuts on fingers and other parts of the body. Therefore, it is necessary to have some initial knowledge of after a cut at home.

What should be done

In most cases, specialized medical care is not required to stop the blood after cutting a finger, since most often such injuries are shallow. With minor injuries and cuts of the hand, the integrity of the capillary wall is violated, therefore, they are accompanied by minor bleeding. Due to the functioning of the system, the release of blood after a short period of time stops on its own. However, a number of steps must be taken to prevent infection from entering the wound.

Depending on how deeply the tissue has been damaged, cuts in the fingers and hands are broadly classified into superficial and deep cuts. In the first case, the victim can independently assess the depth of penetration of the cutting object into the tissue, but it is insignificant and stops quickly.

Fingers are most often injured. So that after cutting your finger at home, you should:

  • Place injured finger under cold running water. The local action of cold leads to a narrowing of the vascular lumen, as a result of which the bleeding of the fingers stops faster.
  • Press a clean cloth tightly to the damaged surface and hold it in this position for 5 minutes. This will help speed up the education process. It is better to use a cloth rather than a cotton swab, as the cotton fibers will become fixed in blood clots, and it will be more difficult to remove them from the wound surface.
  • After stopping the bleeding from a finger in a child or adult, the wound must be treated in order to remove all pathogenic microorganisms from it and prevent the penetration of new ones. For this, the wound is treated with blotting movements first with a tampon moistened with a 3% solution of hydrogen peroxide, and then one of the antiseptic solutions is applied to this area (1% solution of a green diamond, iodine solutions).
  • To prevent secondary infection, the wound is sealed with a bactericidal adhesive plaster.

After shave cut

Shaving cuts are also very common. The reason for the cut after shaving can be inept use of the razor, haste, carelessness, "dry" method of hair removal, without the use of special cosmetics. To stop the blood after a cut with a razor, it is necessary to rinse the wound with cold water, treat it with one of the antiseptic solutions available in the home medicine cabinet and close it with an adhesive plaster, preferably with a bactericidal effect. To date, there are special pencils on sale that have an astringent effect that help to stop such bleeding on the face in the shortest possible time.

To prevent complications during shaving, you should use special gels and foams that make it easier to slide the razor over the skin.

What to do in case of serious damage

Household injuries are not always light in nature. There are times when, through negligence or on purpose, a person inflicts deep cuts on himself. In this case, a massive is noted, sometimes the depth of the wound surface can be visualized. In this case, the wound should be rinsed under running cold water, treated with 3% hydrogen peroxide solution. After that, apply a pressure bandage to the site of injury and bleeding, raising the limb on which it is located beforehand. The elevated position provides a slowdown in blood flow, and, consequently, a decrease in the intensity of blood flow.

When the veins are deeply injured, you can stop in this case by applying a pressure bandage to the cut. After providing first aid for cutting a vein, the victim should be immediately taken to a hospital for medical advice.


What not to do

There are several rules regarding what to do is strictly prohibited for cuts of a different nature:

  • If foreign particles (grains of sand, small glass fragments and others) get into the wound surface, if they are not removed on their own during rinsing with running water, in no case should you expand the edges of the wound and try to remove them yourself. Such actions can lead to complications such as deeper penetration of the traumatic agent into the tissue, secondary infection of the wound surface. The right decision would be to immediately seek help from a hospital.
  • Under no circumstances should you try by falling asleep with various substances that are often recommended as a means of traditional medicine - sugar, starch. This can stop the flow of blood, but will only lead to secondary contamination of the wound and the development of inflammatory processes.
  • Disinfection of the wound surface must not be neglected. Washing with running water alone is not enough, since it is not sterile, it contains a huge number of microorganisms, some of which have pathogenic properties. It is imperative to treat the wound with some kind of antiseptic - 3% hydrogen peroxide solution, alcohol-containing solutions, iodine.

When to see a doctor

If there is the slightest suspicion that the wound surface has been insufficiently cleaned, it is necessary to seek the advice of a doctor. He will examine the wound site and be able to determine whether there are primary signs of the onset of the inflammatory process or not.

The development of complications may be indicated by the manifestation of the following symptoms in the victim:

  • changes in the tissues surrounding the damaged area - the formation of edema, redness;
  • limitation of mobility in the fingers on the injured limb - tendons can be injured;
  • the appearance and growth of pain and swelling at the site of the cut may indicate the development of an infectious process.

In each of these cases, you should not panic, but you need to contact a medical institution for a surgeon to examine the wound surface. The specialist will be able, after conducting a visual examination of the wound and, if necessary, prescribing an additional examination, to give an adequate assessment of the nature of the damage.

In the event of complications, the doctor will develop an effective treatment tactics for their early elimination. We hope we helped you and you now know what to do with cuts on fingers, cheeks after shaving and other parts of the body and the degree of injury.

If you cut yourself while shaving, the omen says: a man who injured himself will have an unexpected pleasant meeting. Whether this is true or not is unknown, but just a cut wound will definitely not give a pleasant sensation.

Anyone who often uses a razor to get rid of unwanted vegetation knows how a cut on the body can manifest itself. Due to the fact that the razor blade is sharp, and the wound is deep, albeit not scary in appearance, the bleeding does not stop for a long time.

Many also use the "grandfather's" method - they glue a small piece of paper onto the wound. But this option for stopping blood is not the only one. It is worth talking in more detail about what to do if you cut yourself while shaving.

How to properly stop bleeding from a wound

When the shaving razor slides over the skin, in addition to hair, it also removes a small amount of skin cells that retain fluid in the body and prevent external irritants. That is why a person gets irritated, and hair can grow in.

If you make any abnormal sharp movement of the machine, or if you press it too much, the risk of damaging the deep epithelium increases, which will provoke blood loss. At such moments, you need to be able to stop the blood in a timely manner and prevent infection.

How to handle a small cut

People who have rather sensitive skin often suffer from multiple small cuts. Most often, wounds appear on the skin of the face, armpits and in the intimate area. But wherever the wound forms, the most important thing is to eliminate the bleeding. To do this, apply a cloth, bandage, or dry napkin to the cut.

If this method does not bring the desired effect, the person tries to find alternative methods or simply stop doing something. It is important to know here that if you keep the tissue on the wound for less than 8-10 minutes, then the blood will not stop, because the process of its clotting has been interrupted. But the usual blotting of the wound leads to increased bleeding.

When the shaving procedure has ended with a small cut, you can rinse your face with warm water, which will narrow the blood vessels and suspend the blood. Specialty stores have pencils to help clot blood and disinfect wounds. For complete disinfection, it is recommended to treat the problem area with hydrogen peroxide or soda solution.

What to do with a deep cut

There are many articles written on how to stop bleeding from a razor cut. Deep cuts are always accompanied by profuse bleeding, so it is very important to have a disinfectant on hand. For example, brilliant green, hydrogen peroxide or chlorhexidine. If there is no suitable product, then you can do with ordinary running water.

To stop the blood, you need to apply a squeezing bandage. If the cut occurred on an arm or leg, then it is better to hold the limb in a horizontal position so that the blood does not flow out of the wound as much.

After the dressing is wet, it needs to be changed. If it is not possible to stop the bleeding during a cut while shaving, then you will have to apply a tourniquet a little higher than the problem area. The tourniquet can be a belt, scarf or ribbon. Sometimes the bleeding is so severe that the wound needs to be stitched up, so a visit to the doctor cannot be avoided.

It happens that a person cut his lip while shaving, how to stop the bleeding in this case? This can be done by placing a piece of newspaper on the affected area.

After shaving wound in the intimate area

Although women try to avoid injury to their skin by choosing safe ways to shave, it is impossible to completely protect the body from cuts. It seems especially dangerous to injure the bikini area, where bleeding is profuse.

In this case, you need to act according to the standard scheme: stopping the blood and disinfecting the problem area. Due to the fact that it is impossible to install a tourniquet in the place in question, the woman herself must firmly press the napkin to the wound and keep it there for at least 15 minutes.

What is forbidden to do with cuts

There are a few things to do when a cut occurs. They are as follows:

  1. Remove pieces of the blade from the wound without the help of a medic.
  2. Sprinkle sugar or starch on the problem area, which can contaminate the affected area of ​​the skin.
  3. Wipe the wound on the face with cologne or alcohol, as the skin can become pigmented.

Injury during hair removal is not uncommon. If a person cuts themselves while shaving and does not know what to do, this situation can be dangerous. Therefore, it is recommended that you carefully study all the tips in advance, so that later, in the event of a cut, you can act quickly and correctly. If you follow all the safety conditions, be extremely careful and take your time, then the unpleasant consequences of shaving can be avoided.
