Whats a good way to stop your lip from bleeding?!


Question: Whats a good way to stop your lip from bleeding!?

I cut my lower lip this morning while shaving -- of course it bleeds and bleeds and bleeds and bleeds!. The problem is even more of a headache for me because I use Warfarin/Coumadin which further impairs the bloods ability to form clots!. The cut is not large, but just a pain to bandage since its on your lip -- I've been switching around bandages and gauze all morning!.!.!. if it wasn't such a pain to get off, I'd brush a light coat of super glue over it ;) I tried putting some hot wax over it and it sort of works, but it's not adhesive enough to the lip!. Any other tips/ideas!?Www@Answer-Health@Com


Answers:
if you take warfarin, you should already know this!.!.!. anyway, you must apply firm continuous pressure to the cut for a minimum of twenty minutes!.!.!. if it hasn't stopped at that point, you are going to have to see a doctor!. When you are on warfarin, a small cut like that can cause severe blood loss, suggest you get an electric shaver!.Www@Answer-Health@Com

if it is a clean cut I would suggest you apply a steristrip (you can get these from the phrmacist ot your firstaider) and put that on it to keep it closed!. Applying pressure to a wound normally works if you apply it long enough but this may take a long time as you take anticoagulants
You could also apply Nuskin to seal the area!.!. Www@Answer-Health@Com

apply some NEAT (undiluted) Essential oil of Lavender!.

weird one but I think it works - black pepper to the distressed site!.
