I would say visit a doctor who can stitch it if any of the following is true!.!.
After 5 minutes the bleeding isn't contained!.Could be arterial flow!.
If the area around is affected, swollen, loosing sensation!.
If the wound is likely to have damaged underlying structures!.Www@Answer-Health@Com

Wash out the cut!. Apply pressure over bleeding area!. If bleeding a lot, raise hand above your head - above the level of your heart!. Apply band aid!. If continues to bleed through band aid, put another on top - do not remove as this will disturb any clotting taking place!. Keep dry!.Www@Answer-Health@Com
Throw the cup out,then soak your thumb in detol,then stick a bandaid on it!.Www@Answer-Health@Com
