Home surgery

I found this new mole on my shoulder and it was annoying me so I cut it off with kitchen shears. Worked perfectly, now instead of an innocuous mole I now have a giant bleeding gash on my neck, barely covered by a bandaid. My parents are gonna be weirded out and idk how to explain to them there's no psychiatric problems I just felt like cutting them off.

Anyways I was reading online about mole removal and all the anti home remedy stuff was vaguely funny. Like the chemical stuff not working made sense but the anti physical removal stuff was all like “nooo you can't do a mostly harmless procedure on yourself! You might get sepsis!! We need to check if the mole is cancerous!!1!” Yeesh what gatekeepers. Anyways I'll let y'all know if I die or something, mostly just annoyed by the large amounts of blood I'm spurting.

Idiot. You need to pack gauze into the wound and then place pressure on it with bandages, except you can't do that because it's your neck. Do you have Quik-Clot?

Luckily it's stopped bleeding. It wasn't a deep wound relative to my normal skin topography so luckily it's just scabbed over.
