abrasions can be treated with first aid. Here are several steps that you can
do for treating bleeding cuts:
1. Stop Bleeding
 Apply direct pressure on the cut or wound with a clean cloth, tissue,
or piece of gauze until bleeding stops.
 If blood soaks through the material, don’t remove it. Put more cloth
or gauze on top of it and continue to apply pressure.
 If the wound is on the arm or leg, raise limb above the heart, if
possible, to help slow bleeding.
 Wash your hands again after giving first aid and before cleaning and
dressing the wound.
 Do not apply a tourniquet unless the bleeding is severe and not
stopped with direct pressure.
