Brief Answer:
Antiseptic solution and elastic bandages.

Detailed Answer:
Hello and thanks for using HCM.

I have read your query and understand your concerns.

Probably it needs sterile dressing, local use of antiseptic solution ( alcohol, betadine ) and elastic bandages for a couple of days.

Paracetamol, or ibuprofen could be used to control the pain.

Rest is necessary also.

If in doubt for any infection, get evaluated by your primary care Doctor.

Hope you found the answer helpful.

Let me know if I can assist you further.

Greetings.
