For example, I cut my arm and I immediately feel pain. Pain is there to notify me that something is wrong or that I’m injured, but now that I’m aware and that I’ve taken care of it (say poured some disinfecant and wrapped it up) why do I still feel that pain. Why can’t our brain know that the wound is not dangerous anymore?

You absolutely can block out pain. First, decide that it isn’t worth thinking about. Then, ignore it. Easiest way is to focus your mind on other things. Eventually you’ll just stop feeling the pain altogether.
