Greetings. You must Wash the area with antiseptic solution like betadine / savlon/ dettol and apply fusidic acid or mupirocin based cream. Get a dressing done if wound appears raw. Also would be advisable to take a tetanus toxoid injection if not taken in the last 5 years.Hope this helps. Warm regards, Dr Govind Suresh Mittal, Bengaluru.
