along with pressure,applying some thing cold(ice pack) should help the blood vessels constrict and stop the bleeding sooner.if this is the first time it could be an acquired bleeding disorder, maybe a common a vit k deficiency. remember to put sufficient pressure and for a couple of minutes.........not just a few seconds. suggest u visit the emergency room if it doesnt subside in less than half an hour.....normally takes minutes......as u already know
p.s if u are on aspirin or some thing similar.........it might explain the prolonged bleeding.....
