Give it a warm soap wash. It could be due to allergy to some medication or dressing material.
After washing dry the wound completely and get dressing. No need to apply any antibiotic unless it is infected. U can apply hydrocolloid gel before dressing but not compulsory.

Good wound hygiene is important for healing
