Thread: It wouldn't quit bleeding

I've done the same thing twice with my left hand...I think it's trying to kill me. I'm with Firestart on this one, cauterize

New item for shopping list...gun powder...

Styptic powder is also sold in pet stores for use when trimming nails and you cut too close to the quick (sp?).

Should be about the same price as the one ClassicShaving sells.

It's expensive. I'd rather just crush a styptic pencil into powder. That's a 5min job and should do the trick just as well.

All bleeding stops eventually!!!!!!!!!!!
one way or another.just hope your still standing when it stops!!!!

Yes, but fire makes "eventually" become "now." And fire is man's best friend!

I take a full aspirin plus plavix. I've had some nicks that continue to ooze until the blood dries. Generally a bandage and pressure help.

No, a dog is man's best friend.


I think I'll try the liquid skin but I have to admit...........








The thought of it reminds me of merthiolate........ the orange torture stuff my mom used on everything.






I may shave with a str8 but deep down, I'm still that little boy!

Damm I haven't thought about that stuff in ages. Yeah my mom used that stuff too... Man it stung like fire..

That sounds like a lot of bleeding to me for a superficial cut and just being on a baby ASA/day. I'd get a clotting profile done to rule out any idiosyncratic reaction to the ASA. I do oral surgery on people taking Plavix and even Coumadin that clot faster than you seem to. Especially if the cut was truly superficial. Don't mean to be an alarmist but we had a local guy (not one of my patients) develop a serious (life-threatening) bleeding problem while on an 81mg/day dose of ASA. That was just the way his particular biochemistry worked. It would be very easy and relatively inexpensive to have a clotting profile done to rule out any physiological overreaction to the ASA. Talk to your family MD about this. Chances are your clotting is just in the extreme normal range but no use taking any risks. JMHO.
