So I have several semi deep cuts on my thigh. I am having a hard time getting the gauze to not stick to the cuts...any advice on how to help with this? Because every time I pull the gauze off to change it they start bleeding again.

What you need to do is not use gauze, you need to use a bandage. Wash the area with warm soapy water and then, after placing some Hydrogen Peroxide on a clean cloth blot the area to further clean the wound. Place Neosporin on the cuts and apply the bandage.

The allow it to air out, does it bleed if you move it. If you can find an Abdominal Bandage and place that over it.
MIGHT DIE if you cut it.
