You can tie a belt, necktie or a cloth strip to keep it in place. The bleeding part can be raised from the body thus reducing the flow of the blood. Try using your thumb or hand pressure to control the bleeding.
4) Burns: The burnt area has to be put under cool water. You can put a cool clean cloth to the area. Always remember not to put ice on the affected place, as it will aggrevate.
