Apply pressure with a clean towel, followed by a good rinsing with water and a good antiseptic... then back to pressure.

If it's deep, then stopping the blood may not be the only concern: It may need stitches... and for that a Doctor would be the best one to determine if it needs stiches.

Good advice ;)

As soon as you can, place a sterile dressing over the wound and bandage it. If the bleeding continues place another absorbent dressing on top of the original, and apply another bandage
