3 inch long cut on leg?!
Question:
3 inch long cut on leg?
I was shaving last night and somehow ( i was using shaving cream) cut the lower left side of my leg, by my ankle. Its only about a 1/4 of an inch wide, but its about 3 inches long. It keeps bleeding a lot. Bled through two sets of band-aids last night. I had to take Tylenol last night because of the pain. I bought neosporin + pain relief. Besides that, is there anything i can do to stop the the bleeding?

thanks guys,
its not deep at all, so i don't think i need stitches. but if it doesn't get better by the end of today i will. :)
if i elevate it, will that help at all or will that just not make it bleed while its elevated?
