I cut my lip over an hour ago and it wont stop bleeding. no scab or anything. I keep having to lap it up, so to speak. can't even smoke a roll-up it's too messy.
I'm vaguely worried...about 0.007%, but thread-worthy IMO
The only thing I can recommend is the icecube method. Applied constantly right on the spot for as long as you can bear it. The ice will constrict the fine blood vessels. It is important that you don't move the mouth/lips for the rest of the evening/night/early morn ... and if the ice is too cold for your fingers then try wrapping the cube(s) in a washcloth or a thin (clean) rag of some sort.
Don't drink alcohol for the rest of your waking hours (nor for a day or two) as it thins the blood, thereby increasing the risk of bloodloss.
Sorry but I have to hit the hay sack now ... I wish you the best. If it's serious then, please don't hesitate to have a professional* look at it.
If you decide to follow Afrobush's instructions then you will just have to take pics and post them here :-P ... remember to label them NSFW so I will know to not peek at them.
I'm not going to follow frobrush's instructions. I value my lips, when I go out on the town in search of female flesh the first thing I think of is my lips (sometimes).
but yeah 3 hours in and the bleeding has stopped, so panic over. I really wonder why my lip bled for so long...one for mulder & scully there.
that whole ice pack/constricting blood vessels stuff was mad informative tho, maybe you should be a doctor.
i cut my lip once it bled for ages, i think the skin on it doesn't heal like proper skin. i had to use super glue in the end. worked a treat. few days later the little blob fell off with it healed.

Super Glue was/is used on wounded soldiers in combat - it was/is a quick way to close up wounds.
Saftey pins are used to tie tounges to cheeks so they don't get bitten off when in pain and there isn't any morphine.

yeah you can buy stuff like that for a first aid kit, we used to have some but it had gone missing when i looked for it. it was called 'second skin' or something.

Usually on the instructions it says "Bonds Skin And Eyes In Seconds!". I don't know if this is a warning or a target!

Aye New Skin smells like nail polish remover and it friggin' knacks when you put it on, you're better off not bothering :D
No one thought about calling the doc or even the ambulance? When I cut my finger last summer and it wouldnt stop bleeding, first thing I thought of was to call for an ambulance.
Dermabond is the version of superglue used to treat wounds
Just looked that up and you can get it in "pen" form. 6 for about ?135. Just go to Cost Cutters et all and get hundreds of their cyanide filled crap for a tenner!
Chances are - if you need gluing up, your pretty much f*cked!

can come in handy if you like to break expensive vases over the heads of your famiy.
In mathematics, the gluing axiom is introduced to define what a sheaf F on a topological space X must satisfy, given that it is a presheaf, which is by definition a contravariant functor
F: O(X) → C
to a category C which initially one takes to be the category of sets. Here O(X) is the partial order of open sets of X ordered by inclusion maps; and considered as a category in the standard way, with a unique morphism
Seeing the thread title 'doctor in the house' now has me singing in my head some crappy UK house tune from the late 80's ! 'doctor in the house, who's house ?' or something like that.

Tried a large icecube? Bunch of them?
Don't talk for 5 minutes, don't move your mouth/lips ... any change?
I merely peeled a flap of dead skin off my lip. do this all the time, but it never seems to bleed.
ice cubes at the ready tho...good thinking batman - I mean znorxman
How large of a flap would you say it was? Small strip or a thumb-sized flap?
still bleeding now. obviously I'm unlikely to die, but I'm just thinking the potential bloodloss could make me tired/obnoxious tomorrow.

*Doctor not a prozzie.
It'll sting for about a year and you'll be disfigured for life - but it works!

I was actually gonna say stub the rolly out on it to cauterize it, but I think your plan works better in the short. :D

New Skin is (as far as I can tell) Cellulose nitrate (known as dope to model makers)
It stings like hell when your dad practically pours it into a huge open cut.
err, most guys are thinking about the female's lips

if U is a subset of V, and none otherwise.
I rest my case.
To glue the vases or the heads?
Depends on whos vases they are, it's always fun to have a family rampage in a shop (or two)
bah...that'll explain why I once ended up snogging myself behind the bicycle sheds then. :-(
nah, they'll be too busy stroking each others bums and going 'oooohhh you have handsome cheeks.'
probably
isn't it 'feelings in the house'?
