Won’t stop bleeding

2 year old DS managed to get hold of my razor whilst in the bath and has cut the tip of his finger. I elevated it and applied pressure but it was still bleeding 2 hours later. In the end I put a plaster tightly on it and put him to bed as it was so late. It isn’t bleeding through the plaster.

I’ve now been sat googling and it’s sent me into a hole of whether I should be taking him to a&e? Anyone have any advice or had this happen to them?

yes, I would go to AandE. razor cuts dont heal well.

Has it stopped bleeding now? Take the plaster off and have a look at it.

He was still bleeding when I took the plaster off so we went to a&e. He’d taken the whole top layer of skin off poor thing. He’s all bandaged up now - he was so brave.
