Hi,
Wash the wound twice daily with sterile water and apply antiseptic ointment with the clean dressing. The risk is that it gets infected. You need to watch for a fever, swelling of your hand or generally felling progressively worse. Having episodes of feeling hot and cold and shivering would indicate the wound has become infected and you may need antibiotics.
