WASH your hands with soap and water before touching the wound area to reduce risk of infection. If you're caring for someone else's wound, consider also wearing disposable gloves to reduce risk of infection or blood borne disease transmission.
STOP the bleeding. If the wound does not stop bleeding on its own, apply gentle pressure with a clean cloth and elevate the wounded area. If you are not able to stop the bleeding, seek medical attention.
CLEANSE the wound under running tap water. If there is dirt or debris in the wound, you can gently remove it with a tweezers (clean the tweezers first in alcohol). If there is debris that you can't easily remove, seek medical attention. Gently pat the skin dry using a clean cloth or gauze pad.
