| I was just in the bath and shaving my legs (Yes, it does happen ) and I caught the razor on my thumb nail. It has sliced it off about 1cm down (pretty much the whole nail). It wont stop bleeding. I have wrapped it up in about 50 sheets of tissue and put clear tape around it, but its just pouring with blood and the tissue is drenched. What do I do?! x |

| keep applying pressure, don't remove any towelling or tissue you've applied even if it's soaked as it will encourage more bleeding when you remove it, just add to it, I find ice or cold compress applied directly helps, then maybe call NHS direct? Hope you're ok xx |

| Cheers ladies... its still bleeding badly, but I have kept the tissue wrapped around it. Lol Snoopy - bless him, he probably would! Now I know why so many women with children stop shaving their legs! x |
