Answers:
Veins heal but if the bleeding doesn't stop then consult your doctor or the ER immediatly!. Otherwise put a bandaid on it and you'll be a-okay most likely!.Www@Answer-Health@Com

You can put some ice for the swelling but if is not bleeding that much it should close in a few days just cover it up when you are outside or are doing something that can get it infected and you can put some antibiotic ointment on it to prevent it from getting infected!.Www@Answer-Health@Com

It's hard to answer this without being there to see it!. I would go to the ER!. You never know, there may be glass in your wrist!. And the nurses there can care for it properly!. You'll probably have to sit there for a while, but it's better to be safe then sorry!.

They will PROBABLY ask you if you did this on purpose (self injury)!. But don't worry, just tell them the truth!. Good Luck!Www@Answer-Health@Com

If you're not dizzy, you should be alright!. The swelling will go down within the next few days!. Try putting ice on it!. Also wrap it in some cloth to avoid serious infection!.Www@Answer-Health@Com
