A bit of tissue paper wrapped round with a length of making tape, which probably falls off after a couple of hours. Particularly good if you've tried to slice the end off your thumb with a Stanley knife.
“In traditional European medicine, cobwebs were used on wounds and cuts to reduce bleeding and aid healing.[22] This use was recorded in ancient Greece and Rome, and was mentioned in Shakespeare's A Midsummer Night's Dream.[23]
Spider webs have been shown to significantly reduce wound healing times. They are rich in vitamin K, which is essential in blood clotting, and their large surface area is also thought to help coagulation.[24] During the 1st century BC, the Roman army used spider webs as field dressings, which also served as a fungicide.[25]”.

Again, not a bad shout in my experience. Single layer of clean tissue stops the bleeding while allowing air through to help healing (better than bog roll which has sat collecting bugs all day on top of the cistern!).

It depends where you are in the world, but I assumed Suffolk with my answer.
Anyone else from Suffolk ever hear older folk call scabs 'roves'? One of my old primary school teacher's used to call them that. Apparently comes from old Scandinavian language.
