If you have cut your leg quite badly what do do?

If you're bleeding:

- Stop the bleeding. Apply pressure to the wound with a clean cloth or bandage. If bleeding does not stop after several minutes, seek medical help.

- Clean the wound. Flush with clean water and gently soap. Clean the surrounding area if possible.

If you see a bone or your insides:

- Do not try to put them back in place.

- Cover the wound with sterile dressing.

Seek medical help immediately if you cannot stop bleeding or if the cut seems deep or serious.
