Based on standard first aid practices for minor cuts, once the wound is clean and dry, you should apply a thin layer of antibiotic ointment or petroleum jelly and then cover it with a bandage.
Here is the quick breakdown of those final steps:
Apply Ointment: A thin layer of something like Neosporin or plain Vaseline helps keep the surface moist, which prevents scarring and keeps the bandage from sticking to the wound.
- الاجابة : Put a band aid on the cut.
Cover It: Use a sterile adhesive bandage (like a Band-Aid) or gauze with tape. This keeps the area clean and prevents bacteria from entering the “fresh” cut.
Monitor: Change the bandage at least once a day, or whenever it gets wet or dirty.
