You should go to the doctor.

hehe this happened to me before... just put a paper towel on it and put a lot of pressure on it. If its like on your arm, put your arm up above your head for a while.. the blood won%26#039;t flow thru the area as easily, ad it will stop bleedin. They also invented the thing called a band-aid which works very well :D gl! :) Oh, also you might have very thin blood, which makes it flow a lot and comes out a lot faster in bigger quantities. :) personal boo-boo experience
sounds like you may have nicked a little vein...put pressure on it until it clots, then a gauze pad and tape it tightly..
.is it in area that gets a lot of action/bumping? You are probably breaking it open repeatedly.
is it gushing, or seeping?
seeping will stop with the pressure and pad eventually if you stop bumping/moving it.
gushing you need to keep steady pressure on and NOT bump or move. Let it have a chance to clot and heal. seven kids, fourteen grandchildren, greatgranchild, husband who was woodworker.
My first thought was it needed stitches but since you say its not deep, I wonder if you might have a bleeding disorder (actually its more a blood clotting disorder where your blood doesnt clot quickly enough causing you to bleed for longer). This can be hereditary or a side effect of some medications (ie. aspirin). See a doctor.
Does it still bleed after applying pressure and bandage. Do you take a lot of aspirin? How old are you?
out a band aid on it :) feel better
