Bleeding:

• Bleeding can usually be stopped by applying direct pressure to the wound
• All wounds require immediate thorough cleansing with clean water
• Wounded extremities should be immobilized and elevated
• If the bleeding continues and seeps through the bandage, add more absorbent material. Do not remove the first bandage

Wound dressing:

• Use antiseptic lotion for general wound dressing
• Clean the wound from the central part, avoid bringing germs from outside the wound
• Cover wound with commercially available dressing material, such as clean gauze
• Seek medical care for any suspected wound infection
