Good work homie. The part about the gentle dragging is one of the keys here others should learn from, as it takes a steady hand. Lightning bolt cuts suck, especially on thin skin areas. And when a Doc takes a look and says "let him go"...that's a very good sign.
I'm on stand-by for a buddy's tentative MMA debut, but recently I got to fix a profuse nose-bleeder in the Gym (no Machete, not you). There's a Mexican kid who trains at my Gym (hits like a mule), under former contender
Merqui Sosa. This kid starts to hit the heavy bag and his nose bleeds. I suspected two things, one is his blood is naturally thin, and two he possibly has high blood-pressure genetically.
Typically a standard-issue multivitamin for men won't have iron in it because males don't usually need iron. But Fighters and other athletes who routinely bleed definitely could use supplemental iron, so that was the first thing I gave him, the second thing was that Vitamin K I mentioned in the Guide To Being A Cornerman. The combination of the two did the trick, both of those things working internally to thicken his blood, and now he can do rounds without having to run to the bathroom to stuff his nose full of tissue.
If he
still has bleeding problems, I'll suggest we test his blood pressure (I have a pump and am familiar with the numbers), and if that's also a problem, that can be fixed as well.
