Hello,
Wash the wound thoroughly with soap and water otherwise infection might set in. If you are not vaccinated tetanus shot has to be taken. As of now you can apply bandage after preliminary cleaning. Antibiotics has to be started to prevent infection.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
