Hi, sorry to hear about it.
Firstly I would like to ask if you are diabetic? If your blood sugar levels are high, these kind of wounds/cuts take longer than usual time to heal.
If you are non- diabetic then regular dressing of the wound using hydrogen peroxide, betadine or mupirocin oint will only help, but yes it takes long time and also depends how big the cut is.
