Post Body

I have a cut on my thigh that’s just over 1 inch long and maybe 1-2mm deep. I didn’t think it was bad enough for stitches or anything, so I just cleaned it and put some steri-strips on. But it’s been almost 24 hours and it’s still bleeding. I have to keep changing the bandage every few hours because I can see the blood soaking through. I’m currently on blood thinners so I’m sure that has something to do with it.. but I don’t really know what to do. Is this normal? Should I see a doctor, or just wait a bit longer?
