I am wearing a pantiliner to keep it clean. the cut is small maybe 1/4" or smaller. what do i need to look for or worry about. i am so embarrassed.
Hello,
Thanks for posting your query on health care magic.
Cut of one forth inch is very small.
You need not worry about it.
Good that you applied anti-bacterial cream over it.
Continue the same twice daily for 3 days.
This will prevent secondary bacterial infection.
The wound will heal in a weeks time without scar formation.
So, you need not be concerned about it.
Hope this helps.
Feel free to ask if you have any more doubts.
I will be glad to answer.
Regards,
Dr Nilofer
