It is recommended to cover a wound with a band-aid or other type of dressing, and only change it once a day unless it becomes soiled or wet. Clean the area with mild soap and water, pat dry, and then apply the dressing. It is important to keep the wound covered until a scab forms. If the dressing sticks to the wound when removed, using an ointment may help prevent this, but it should not be used for more than 3 days as it could slow down the healing process. When wearing new shoes, it is advised to wear them for short periods at first and gradually increase the amount of time spent wearing them.
