Step one is DON'T PANIC. If you stay calm, then your child may stay calm also.
Step two is to cover the cut with whatever you can get your hands on the fastest. If you can cover the cut quickly, then your child will panic less.
Step three is to look at the cut. Get an initial impression if it is minor or major.
Step four is to stop the bleeding. Find a more appropriate item such as a clean towel or cloth and gently but firmly press it to the cut. Don't keep peeking underneath every 10 seconds. Hold it in place for at least two minutes (longer if necessary).
For cuts that involve a large bump or bruise, such as on the head, you may also want to apply some ice wrapped in the towel.
Once the bleeding has stopped or dramatically decreased, take a closer look at the wound to assess how severe it is. Proceed to the next step below

Wrap it tight with a dry towel and keep pressure on it to slow the bleeding. Go to a hospital quickly, it may need stitches or further care!!!

Sounds serious. Here's what to do. Wash ONCE. It will continue bleeding, put on bandage and go to the hospital. Your arm may need stitching coz you say its big.

I don't know how deep the wound or is it a superficial cut.
If it's deep you go to the E.R. for sutures and antibiotics.
