Hello. Thanks for writing to us at healthcaremagic I would suggest that you clean the area either with soap water daily Or with a betadine dipped sterile gauze. The idea is to prevent it from getting secondarily infected with bacteria. Betadine is antiseptic, antibacterial. After cleaning, you may use an OTC topical antibacterial e.g 2% mupirocin ointment twice daily for a few days, till the wound/cuts heal. They normally should scab over and heal within a week Howevr, in case you experience increased pain Or develop watery/purulent discharge Or the edges of the wound become red, swollen and painful Or the floor of the wound develops yellowish dirty slough; these are all signs that the wound has become infected with bacteria and would require a course of an oral antibiotic for effective control Regards
