You can get Bleed weapons, which at your point in the game, include the Bandit's Knife and the Uchigatana (you have to kill the Undead Merchant to get this in the early game though). However, Bleed is naturally not very effective against skeletons. In order to increase bleed resist, you can save up 15,000 souls and buy the Bloodbite Ring from Oswald of Carim.
