What to do when you cut your head?

???

I just hit my head and have about a one inch gash that splits into about a half inch one (Y shaped). Its at my hairline, what do I do? If it does not stop I have to get stitches.

Also, Don’t lay down, if its bleeding, hold pressure to it, yes it will hurt, but it will stop the bleeding

I cut mine today. It was bigger than an inch and my grandfather is a cop and a paramedic teacher and he said it’s too small. You’ll live.
