Pressure. If its one the heel or ball of the foot put clean tissue on it and stand on it for 5-8 minutes until the bleeding stops. That's the easiest if the cut is clean and not jagged and you can stand the discomfort.Health Question & Answer
Direct pressure is best way to prevent bleeding. After that you can apply cold and warm application. Cold application stops further bleeding while warm application will allow blood to circulate. You can put protective dressing to prevent it from touching surfaces and to avoid the wound to be scratch which could lead to infection. Do not put the dressing to tight, be sure to allow air to pass through to allow dryness to the wound and healing to occur faster. also try to frequently check the wound for infections.Health Question & Answer
If it's really deep, big, and won't stop bleeding, I recommend you go to the hospital; it may need stitches. If it is not so big, then just aplly the steps of R.E.D.
R- Rest (rest, sit down and relax)
E- Elevation (elevate your foot so it rest above your heart so the blood doesn't flow to it as much but the opposite way to stop the bleeding)
D- Direct Pressure (Wrap your food with guaze or something, or simply apply a cloth, or ice or whatver)
Hope it stops!Health Question & Answer

put lots of pressure on it and if it still doesn't stop bleeding then go to the E.R.
you don't want to lose alot of blood or anything really bad like that.
make sure you have someone drive you too you don't want to loose to much blood and get dizzy on the way there.
call up a friend or a family member to take you.
if it's really deep i think you might need stitches.
good luck and be careful! Health Question & Answer

Pressure is the best. Ice will slow it down. Do not use heat as it will increase the flow of blood. If its really deep you probably should go in and get stitches. Because you walk on it, the foot doesn't always heal fast. Go in and have it looked at.Health Question & Answer
Put some ice in a rag that can get blood on it, and keep applying pressure. The ice helps stop bloody noses that I get sometimes, so I would think it would help stop cuts from bleeding excessively as well.Health Question & Answer
