Suggest Treatment For A Cut On External Ear

My son cut the skin on the front portion of his ear - between the lobe and the top of the ear. It is a small cut and I don t think it needs a stitch but needs to be closed. How can it be closed? Butterfly band aide with Neosporin? It will stop bleeding but then begin again. He has had a tetnus shot within the last four years. Thank you, Paula

For cut on external ear you can take some antibiotic preferably ampoxin or cefadroxyl after an expert opinion along with nimol-plus or zerodol-sp for pain and inflammation. You can use Neosporin powder for local application as you are already doing. You have to do regular dressing under aseptic conditions.
