Is there something I can do to prevent an infection or help with healing?

If you have a wound, it is important to keep it clean with mild soap and water, and cover it with a bandage to help it heal. Once a scab forms, you can apply a moisturizer as needed. If the wound does not heal after two weeks or remains open, it is advisable to seek medical attention.
