if there continues to be bleeding episodes it might be that flap of skin getting yanked on that's doing it. If it seems like it is, take a scissors, the smallest you can find, pour some alcohol over the blades and then carefully cut the skin as close as you can. That should help.

Glad it wasn't any worse than it was! Ouchies to Alan! And to you too! Tell him is wasn't nice scaring 10 yrs off your life!
