For some reason, when I was walking down the hall today, my finger just randomly started bleeding. I've cut myself on that part of my finger before, and it appeared the cut seemingly just opened up on its own. It bled quite a bit too.

Another thing, I accidentally cut my toe today, and for some reason it wouldn't stop bleeding. It bled for literally five minutes and I had to put a band-aid on it for it to stop.

My blood also seems to be thinner.

Should I be concerned?

It could be  coincidence there are blood vessles in both that would cause that. Try taking some blood thickeners your blood may be thinner but it happens to many people. Your best bet would be Vitamin K.. Yes there is such thing vitamin K can be found in grat amounts in green, leafy, vegetables , spinach,Broccoli, and turnip greens have the highest amount of vitamin K try eating some raw. They will aid in helping your blood clot and healing cuts. Some other things coleslaw ,graham crackers, pie crust.

If both your cuts are still bleeding like crazy now and have not stoped or healed in anyway. Then yes that calls for concern and you should get to a doctor i'd think.

Kind of sounds like hemophilia to me. I'm no doctor though. I'd recommend a doctor if it's concerning you.
I don't so. Hemophilia is genetic in most cases, and this just started happening recently.

You're over analysing the situation. Buy more band-aids
HeartofJuyoMk2 Posted at 3:24 pm on Nov. 20, 2008
it's probably a coincidence, maybe you just flexed the wound a little too much.

It might be something you should mention to your doctor, but its nothing to freak out about.
RainbowKid92 Posted at 3:22 pm on Nov. 20, 2008
unless its bleeding profusely, you're ok.
