It is recommended to clean the wound with water and soap twice a day. Avoid using peroxide on the skin. Continue applying Polysporin. If swelling decreases, it is not necessary to consult a doctor. However, if you notice the wound swelling, turning red or warm, or if you develop a fever, it is important to seek medical advice at that time.
