TL;DR Summary
The blood stops running but the wound doesn't heal
I 've a cut in my finger that is there for now over 1 week. The blood stops running but when i wash my hand the blood starts running again , then it stops running till i wash my hands again and so on. It seems that the wound just doesn't heal. Should I worry about this and visit a doctor or it is something that has a simple cause (lack of vitamins perhaps?),
