Why Do Knuckles Bleed?

Before we dive into the juicy stuff, let’s briefly talk about why knuckles bleed in the first place. Our knuckles are home to many blood vessels that lie just beneath the skin. When these blood vessels rupture due to an injury or trauma, it results in a cut or wound which can lead to bleeding.

Now that we know why our precious fingers start leaking red fluid like a broken faucet at times when least expected,let’s get straight into what you should do without further ado!

First Aid for Cuts and Wounds

The first step is always important – clean the wound thoroughly with waterDON’T be tempted by soap or alcohol-based antiseptics, as they can both cause more damage than good. You don’t want your hands looking like a dried sponge after all.

If there’s dirt stuck inside your cut which makes cleaning difficult with water then gently remove it using sterilized tweezers but DO NOT try digging deep as that may cause infection besides scars.Nobody wants those nasty marks mid photo shoot wink wink

After washing away dirt pat dry with cloth/tissue/gauze /bandage/ whatever is accessible quickly e.g paper napkin being within reach & immediately apply pressure using one of these items till bleeding stops:
– Sterile gauze
– Pad of tissue paper
– Clean cloth rag
– Band aid

Once your bleeding is under control (meaning absolutely NO GOOFS/SPLATTERS), cover up the wound with sterile dressing such as waterproof bandages,lotsa medical tape ,aspirin paste just don’t compare it to the glue cause trust me glue WON’T do any good since its adhesive aren’t meant for medical use.To keep dirt, germs and other unwanted irritants especially if you are indulging in an activity where your hands meet dust & grime like gardening/ cleaning etc

Alternative Methods

Sometimes, there’s no water or sterile dressings around–what should we do then? Always be prepared. Carry a small first aid kit with yourself which contains all essentials from regular band-aids to antiseptic sprays.

Another age-old trick is using honey directly on bleeding wounds (Yes,the one you spread on bread every morning). Raw Honey has certain antimicrobial properties that prevent infectious bacteria growth along keeping wound moisturized making it popular among hikers who may have inflammmation or irritation due extreme wilderness conditions) . Just slather some of your trusted honey brand or locally sourced onto clean skin over,wrap a cleaned silk ribbon scarf or bandana round top and secure plaster; Voila! less suffering than having the pain intensify

A simple home remedy worth trying involves applying Aloe Vera Gel(much better if straight outta leaves),one might just thank us later for preventing them tattooing more scars “accidentally”.This plant gel can being antibacterial agent apart from instantly expediting healing so idealy refrigerated aloe vera extract works faster as chilledness is known to soothe burns/cuts

Last but not least,some foods act as natural coagulants(another fun vocabulary alert!) meaning when applied they help clotting process-just chew up some Postassium rich munchies such banana/kale/chocolate bit by bit till liquid coats’ mouth surfaces near cut ,now spit this on wounded area sparingly follow with pressure pad.Do remember unhygienic items like sugar/powdered candy are strict NO NOS!

When To See A Doctor

Remember that all cuts cannot be fixed by just bandaging it up, if the cut is too deep or too longbesides dirty environment ,bleeding does not stop even after following above mentioned st4eps for more than 30 minutes,it’s advisable to seek medical attention.

Additionally,if you notices symptoms like increasing pain accompanied with fever/rash/foul smell/ redness spread then DO NOT ignore wasting any extra second of valuble time rushing directly to emergency room.
