What Causes Constant Bleeding From Pinky Toe Post An Injury?
Hi. My mom dropped a piece of glass on her foot above the toe beside her pinky toe. I bandaged it up for her, but the bleeding won t stop or slow down. Is there a main vein she could of hit and is there anything we can do at home to stop the bleeding?

bleeding of foot can be stopped by the following measures.
elevate the leg higher than rest of the body by putting pillow below it.
apply direct pressure by help of a clean cloth or gauze to stop bleeding.
for further treatment take a short course of antibiotic like amoxycillin and anti-inflamatory medication like flexon to aid wound healing.
also take vit C
wish you good health
