Introduction
Treatment can be carried out through disinfection, pressure to stop bleeding, wound dressing, and other methods.

Subsequently, apply iodine tincture to the wound to prevent infection.
Bleeding wounds caused by bumps or collisions can be managed through disinfection, applying pressure to stop bleeding, and wound dressing. The specific procedures are as follows:
1. Disinfection
For wounds resulting from bumps or collisions, the affected area should be rinsed with hydrogen peroxide under medical guidance to ensure complete removal of impurities. Afterwards, apply iodine tincture to the wound to prevent infection.
2. Applying Pressure to Stop Bleeding
If bleeding continues to increase, use a sterile cotton swab dipped in iodine to press gently on the affected area, helping to control bleeding and prevent further blood loss.
3. Wound Dressing
If the wound is large, cover it with sterile gauze or dressing to keep the wound dry, clean, and free from contamination. Ensure that the dressing is neither too tight nor too loose to avoid interfering with wound healing.
In addition to the above common treatments, wound suturing may also be considered. If the injury results in a large, deep wound, or if foreign objects remain around the wound, prompt medical attention is recommended.
