Hi
Thanks for using healthcare magic

Ideally, you should consult a surgeon for dressing and cleaning of bump. In case you do not have money to afford a doctor, you can clean it with antiseptic solution and can take some pain killer that would help to decrease pain and swelling. Better to not use same arm for addiction for next few days.

Thanks
