Apply direct pressure. It will stop. Sometimes this happens when IV's are removed.

Apply direct pressure and hold your arm up above your head. This is normal but if it does not stop I would give the hospital a call. Don't worry!

Apply pressure to the site with clean gauze or washcloth until the bleeding stops.

Apply pressure to it and keep your arm elevated, the bleeding should stop.

Put pressure on it, and keep holding it. Itll stop, just stay calm. The more excited you get, the more blood itll pump out.
