The thing is, why the Band-Aid?

I have a very low platelet count, it takes a hot minute for my blood to clot after a stick. Still, I can remove the bandage in 15-20 minutes and it is fine.

Now you see trump, double bandaged with not only tabs the cut off, but under the makeup. IMO it makes it look more visible.
