Deep cut - won't stop bleeding

[anonymous-user]

Just cut myself nice and deep at the side of mt finger nail whilst cutting onions. I have given it a good clean ran it under a cold tap and compressed it to try and stop it bleeding but it wont stop! I don't have any butterfly stitches and I'm not that great with a needle and thread so was wondering if superglue would work? I have an unopen tube so guess it will be clean! What do you think?

It was actually invented during the Vietnam war to glue up wounds IIRC

Give it a go!
It will sting like fk but I cant see any reason why it wont work.
Obviously I am no doctor so you might get blood poisoning and die, but it is definitely the proper thing for a man to try

Nips a bit but seams to have worked

Laugh. Well done. Keep us posted as to what happens through the healing process. Im curious.

Put some vaseline on top. that will save it itching and help the healing. worked for me when i sliced my hand when washing a pint glass.

Vaseline over the superglue?

Did a similar thing messing about with a scalpel and removed the top 5mm from the tip of my thumb. Just taped it down with sellotape. Worked a tre

Wouldn't use normal superglue. The medical grade stuff does not have the rat poison in it.
My dentist told me this years ago when I used it to glue a crown (tooth) back in.
I would have just opted for the sellotape.

Well its too late telling me that now!

If you fill it with glue, how is it going to heal?

It's a slice not a gaping chasm!

I held the wound closed and dotted a little glue over the edges of the skin. It dried fairly quickly after just spreading a little.

Sorry OP but some of these comments are fekin' hilarious.

Get well soon.

I have googled this and the jury is out on whether it is toxic or not. Dentist was probably after more money.

Tyre smoke- The clue is in the op. "cut myself deep". If it was just a slice a plaster would of sufficed.

It is deep but it is a very neat cut (keep my knifes nice and sharp) I managed to role the blade of the knife over my finger which made it a lot longer and deeper than my normal kitchen cuts!
