What to Do: Cuts and Bruises Step by Step

When someone has a small cut or a bruise, you can help! Here is what to do. **Small Cuts** A cut is a break in the skin. Cuts can bleed a little. Follow these steps: 1. Stay calm — being calm helps the hurt person feel calm too. 2. Wash your hands first if you can, so you do not spread germs. Germs are tiny living things that can cause infection (when a wound gets worse instead of better). 3. Rinse the cut gently under clean, cool running water to wash away dirt. 4. Press a clean cloth or tissue gently on the cut for a minute or two to stop the bleeding. 5. Cover the cut with a plaster (also called a bandage strip) to keep it clean and protected. 6. Always tell an adult, even if the cut looks small. **Bruises** A bruise happens when you bump yourself hard. Tiny blood vessels under the skin break, and blood pools there, making a painful blue, purple, or yellow patch. The skin is not broken — there is no open wound. For a bruise: 1. Stay calm. 2. Wrap some ice or a cold pack in a cloth — never put ice directly on skin. 3. Hold the cold pack gently on the bruise for about 10 minutes. Cold helps reduce swelling (when the area puffs up) and eases the pain. 4. Tell an adult. **When to Get Adult Help Straight Away** Some cuts and bruises need more than basic . Get an adult immediately if: - A cut is deep, very long, or will not stop bleeding after 10 minutes of pressing. - The hurt person feels dizzy, very pale, or unwell. - The bruise is on the head after a bang.

Worked example

Scenario: Your friend trips in the playground and grazes their knee. There is a little blood and some dirt in the wound. What do you do? Step 1 — Stay calm and reassure your friend. Step 2 — Wash your own hands or use a clean tissue to avoid spreading germs. Step 3 — Help rinse the graze gently under clean water to remove the dirt. Step 4 — Press a clean tissue gently on it for about a minute to slow the bleeding. Step 5 — Cover it with a plaster. Step 6 — Take your friend to a teacher or adult straight away so they can check it properly. You have just done great first aid!
