It's a shaving cut, it happens. Just be more careful.

As for the cut, just put some peroxide on it(It may sting a little) so it doesn't get infected. Then just take a tissue or something and apply pressure until the bleeding stops.

As for scars, theres nothing you can really do to prevent them. However I doubt it will leave one, but if it does, they have skin care lotions that you can apply to it that will minimize the effects and make it less noticeable.

it's like. 2 millimeters long though and u can notice easily.

can i use vaseline to help this heal?

Erm.. Peroxide doesnt do anything for fresh cuts really. Polysporin is better to be used, and holding a little bit of tissue on will help.

Vaseline, I dont think so.. I dont see how that would help at all really.

It happens, time will heal and if it scars, consider it a battle scar. :P

Use a small amount of Germolene or antiseptic cream

Peroxide kills infection.. Thats what it's meant to do.

Actually, it kills blood cells if there is no infection. Polysporin prevents while peroxide kills.

I got Neosporin cream today, I hope it works lol.
