Cut help: Hey I need some help…. - Help.com

You could be getting tired because of the bloodloss, if it’s still bleeding after more then 10-15 min of pressure (don’t remove the bandages to check, it’ll just open up again) get help, go to the ER at the very least make sure you’re not alone/going to pass out & drink some fruitjuice to keep your fluids/sugar levels up.

Back of upper thigh, makes for tricky bandaging I’d say; I haven’t heard of scars that old opening up again (I’ve had scars do that but mostly a few months after they’d healed and they just oozed, they didn’t really bleed).

If you’re not feeling faint and you haven’t lost too much blood; if you have scars you probably know where “it’s ok” goes over to “too much” have it checked in the morning?

I’m not psychic or anything so, so I’m not sure; maybe just wake your mom and ask her to have another look because you can’t go sleep if that’s stil bleeding.

Elevation might help, I know it is an odd spot to elevate, try to get the wound above your heart. If you can stop it from bleeding for a minute, try crazy glue, not much and be careful not to let your fingers touch it until it is completely dry. It’s worked for me before.

Good one Tomars - hope I’ll never need those sorts of things again. I used to be a fan of the not too great “ducktape, toiletpaper & plastic bags” method.
