Hi thank you for querry,
If wound is not too much deep required stiching otherwise just wash it first with normal tape water after put any antiseptic like pyodine and dress it twice daily until it heals,aviod it contaimination with dirt or any foriegn body because it delayed wound healing.
if you feel pain take any pain killer like diclofenic and take vitamin C to enhance wound healing.
hope the answer will help you.
wish you good health.
