I've been playing the ukulele for a little over a month. I started on a Lanakai.
Just yesterday, my brand new Mainland Soprano came in, and I immediately fell in love with it. Today, I was playing it for about two hours when I looked down and saw blood all over my new ukulele! If I hadn't looked down, I wouldn't have had an idea I was bleeding all over.
Obviously I cleaned the ukulele before mending my wound.
Here's a link to the damage (I won't embed it in case you're squeamish): http://imgur.com/JKKv9
Anyway, based off the picture of my injury, what am I doing wrong and how can I prevent it? I was strumming with my index finger, which I was under the impression I should be doing.
