If you feel like you've cut to deep, please....please go to a doctor or the emergency room. If you don't have a way to get there please call for an ambulance. In order for them to be able to put stitches in, you need to be seen within 4-6 hours of cutting. You also want to make sure you keep the wound clean until you can get it looked at.

The first thing you should do is clean the area so it does not get infected. Though it may sting because it is an open cut, try to keep it clean. If you think you have cut deep enough to require stitches, or are afraid that it will get infected, go to the emergency room or call 911 so trained professionals can help you.

The first step is cleaning it out with water, and try to keep it closed with either a steri-strip or by applying pressure. Call your emergency number or someone who can call or take you to an emergency center. It's better to worry someone if you need help, than it is to stay quiet and risk infection or anything worse.

if you are concerned that you have cut yourself too deeply, especially if you are bleeding far too much, call 911 and get medical attention. or have someone drive you to the emergency room.

Cutting is dangerous, but I can speak from experience. It is a hard struggle to overcome and cutting too deep is a possibility. If you think that it has occurred, please use first aid to the cut and then seek help. You do not want to get an infection or sustain more unwanted injuries or problems. I also recommend seeking professional help because if you cut too deep once, it is possible for it to happen again.

Put pressure on your wrist to stop as much bleeding as you can. Wash it off and tie a cloth tightly so there's pressure on it. And then you HAVE to ask for assistance. Or else it can get infected.

I think it would be best to tell somebody even if it is scary because you don't want to bleed out or die.

Apply pressure on your wound. If the bleeding doesnt slow down, call 911 and to slow down the bleeding, apply ice because it'll constrict your blood vessels and slow down the bleeding

Put pressure on the wound. Not soft pressure. You have to push hard. It will hurt. If the bleeding doesn't stop within 2 minutes, call 911 for help.
