wound bleeding

Cut that's seeping

Wound bleeding is the flow of blood from an injury where skin or tissue has been broken.

The phrase appears most often in medical contexts describing symptoms or first aid: Apply pressure to stop the wound bleeding.

It can function as a noun phrase (the bleeding from a wound) or as a compound where wound modifies bleeding (bleeding of the wound type).
