Answers:
In very basic terms!.!.!. there are tiny sensors in your skin that send signals to your brain that register pain, right!? So if you scrape or have have a large gash in your skin, that gash destroys or overloads the sensors which makes your skin feel numb, and maybe less pain (although as it heals you will feel much more pain than a little cut, and it will itch too)!. But if you have a tiny cut, all of your sensors are aware of it, and there is no numbing, and your sensors aren't overloaded, so overall it feels like more pain!. As an analogy, imagine a fenced in yard with 100 dogs!. The barking symbolizes the pain you feel!. If you throw a grenade into the yard, let's say you kill like 50 dogs, and the rest bark at you!. So 50 dogs barking worth of pain!. BUT, if you run into the yard and smack one of them on the head, you have all 100 dogs barking their heads off at you!. So that sorta gives you the image of a large wound, versus a little cut!.
That's my very very basic description of why a small cut hurts like crazy!.Www@Answer-Health@Com

There are more nerves on the surface on the skin rather than under the skin!.Www@Answer-Health@Com

i think it's because your skin is sensitive and the cut went deep down in the wound!.Www@Answer-Health@Com
