Suggest Remedy For Cuts/burns In Breast Nipple

Hi. I was just upstairs in my bathroom taking a bath and shaving. when I got out of the tub I noticed a small, circular cut on my breast, just under and a little to the left of my nipple. It did not hurt at all, but was bleeding so I just put a band-aid on it. (I am a 21-year old female).

Hi

Since you have developed a superficial skin cut , you need to take proper care of the affected area.
You should clean it with lukewarm saline water twice a day .
Apply a topical antibiotic cream like neosporin or mupirocin over the affected areas twice a day .
Do not apply any other cream or oil over it .
Wear cotton undergarments so as to decrease sweating and prevent friction.
