Does it pain now? Gently scrub away the dead skin using a clean soft tissue or cloth. Keep wound covered with a sterile cotton gauze to prevent settling of dust and germs over it.
You can take ciprofloxacin 500mg one morning and one evening for for 5 days to prevent wound getting infected.
Take diclofenac 50mg one morning and one evening for 3 days to cure underlying inflammation.
