    Happened to me once, for some reason that area does not want to stop bleeding...It did stop eventually obviously, leaving a rather large scab. The amount of people who started commenting on it too...

    Try not to wipe the blood off it for a while, that should help it clot.

    In future buy some alum block or a styptic pencil, stops the blood almost immediately.

    Ice.

    Earlobes tend to bleed easily / a lot.

    Here's one for ye! ;) Now, I havent tried this, but I've read of it, an effective way of stopping cuts from bleeding (and the source I read it from cut himself while shaving! :p) is to get some cobwebs, roll them into a little ball and put it on the cut! Weird eh, but ye never know! :D

    This was the late 18th century by the way! :p
