Question: Okay so my cat just clawed the heck outta my face!. !. !.!?
My cat is psycho and she jumped from the stairs and landed on my head and totally tore my face up with her sharp talons!. I have deep scratches all over me and they sting like hell!.

Answers:
Keep the wounds clean with soap and water, sterile saline spray(found in supermarkets, Rite-Aid, Walmart, etc!.), hydrogen peroxide or another brand product like the Johnson and Johnson no sting antiseptic!. Rubbing alcohol would work but can damage new cell growth and stings a lot!. Betadine/Iodine is ok too but I don't think you want brown or pink liquid all over your face!.
Apply pressure to stop the bleeding and if it doesn't stop within the hour, you might want to call a 24 hour help line at your local hospital!. I know the one near me has nurses on the line at all times!.
In terms of keeping your face scar free, that depends on a few factors!. If the edges of the scratches approximate or match up nicely, you should have minimal scarring!. Also, the amount of scar tissue that builds up in the area can affect how it looks as well as the texture and tone of your skin!.
I know this seems awful right now but I can't tell you how many times my cat has scratched me and I thought I'd have a giant scar forever!. Having been a cat owner for over 10 years, I can tell you that I have yet to have one that's lasted more than a few weeks!. Best of luck!Www@Answer-Health@Com

cats have germs in their claws and could easily infect you!. You need to go to the doctor or emergency room asap, especially since some scratches are deep and still bleeding!.
Try and apply presure to stop the bleeding or get some stuff called liquid bandaides!. It is clear and like a glue!. It will sting for just seconds!. Blow on it and it helps to stop the burning!.
I suggest you try to clean the cuts best you can first, and put some antibiotic cream or tea tree oil!. You make develop cat scratch fever!. I had it twice many many years ago!.

My cat has done that to me several times and I wound up getting really bad painful infections from her bites and scratches, despite having cleaned them and applying ointment!. The last time I had to go to the doc and get an antibiotic shot!. I would really suggest you go ahead and see a doctor!.
You might consider having your cat declawed!. I know it's controversial, but it sometimes is really necessary!. I had my cat declawed and she has done fine!. The vet also put my cat on an antidepressant like Prozac, but I found it very difficult to give it to her!. The vet told me to use Feliway to help calm the cat!.
