Abnormal long bleeding on a minor cut.?

Abnormal long bleeding on a minor cut.?
If you get a very minor cut, just a scratch that should barely bleed, but bleeds for over an hour, what possible illness's could you have (ex. Luekemia)

  1. Hemophelia, but if you had, you would know before today. Also, I've found that cuts at an angle tend to bleed more, like paper cuts.

  2. some people are what we call "free bleeders" all this means is that your blood does not clot as fast as others. as longs as the bleeding does stop and you arent losing trememndous amounts of blood, i wouldnt worry about it.also, some meds (like aspirin, high blood pressure meds or blood thinners like heparin and coumadin) can actually thin your blood and make a small scratch bleed really bad

  3. you probably don't have an illness...it's just that you cut into nerve ending and that is why it bleeds longer
