it takes 5-7 days for cuts to heal . Change dressings on alternate days carefully after wetting it by dabs in lukewarm water so that the dressing peels off without sticking too firmly in the wound. Dry dressings remove with difficulty and peel off the new repair tissue layer formed underneath and may bleed.it is better you take help of a paramedic person in a clinics/ hospital in your area.
Also frequent (daily change) of dressing peels off newly formed layers of cells and can delay healing
