Apply pressure. You can also hold a tea bag on it. The tannic acid in tea constricts the blood vessels so the bleeding will stop faster.
If you are losing a lot of blood you should call 911.
Good luck.

direct pressure and elevation will stop 90 to 95 percent of arterial bleeding.
but the other 5 to 10 percent that direct pressure will not stop
after you have exhausted all means on trying to stopthe bleeding
and you find that is will not stop.
as a last resort you need to apply a tourniquet.

elevate your arm above your head and put a lot of pressure on it if it doesn't stop bleeding soon you should call 911 to be safe you don't want to hurt your self more.

Apply pressure on it.
Keep the pressure there till the blood seize.
Then apply some anticeptic cream to prevent ur wound frm infection.
Lastly, dress it in a band aid.

did you intentionally cut yourself?? if so, your parents need to know. i'm a cutter too and i know if you are cutting on your wrist you need help because you are entering a dangerous area. if it was not intentional, apply pressure, hold above heart, atb ointment and bandage when bleeding stops. remember get help if you need it.
