Answers:
When blood is squirting or spraying away from the body, that indicates that a vein or artery is damaged.
The way to stop bleeding is to apply pressure. However yours has stopped bleeding and scabbed over, but is still squirting blood at intervals.? Is there any damage to the scab when it starts squirting.? Does it happen randomly or after you maybe bump the wound on something.? Does the scab come off when it starts squirting.?
If it's truly random, go to the doctor. If it's happening when you bump or jar the wound, put a really good bandage on it and it should stop.Health Question & Answer

put a pressure on it with a sterile gauze. do not use anti septic solution for they might kill the good bacteria rather than the bad one'sHealth Question & Answer
