Hi,
First, keep the cut always clean. Apply antiseptic creams (Neosporin or Salvon) 2-3 times a day. Keeping the skin moist is important to heal the cut properly. You can apply petroleum jelly for this purpose.
The cut should heal within 3-4 days. If the cut on the skin has redness and swelling it is most likely infected and you should contact your doctor for the proper treatment.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
