Cut won’t stop bleding?

I sustained a cut yesterday when I fell on my broken bed frame, which had a protruding piece that pierced my skin. I didn't realize how severe it was until I took off my jeans, at which point it started bleeding profusely. Now, more than 24 hours later, it's still bleeding, which is unusual for me; generally, my cuts stop bleeding within five minutes. The wound is small, yet it seems to be bleeding excessively. I'm concerned because I had a razor blade cut a few days ago that stopped bleeding quickly and healed well. What might be causing this prolonged bleeding, and how can I stop it?

Have someone else drive you to the hospital, pronto.

You should apply pressure to it, while they get you there.

If you have been taking aspirin or blood thinners, that can affect how your blood clots, or doesn’t. If the wound is deep or near a blood vessel, that can also make a difference.

You need someone to take you to the hospital. NOW.
