hi
u need to apply good antibiotic cream like T BACT over the cut
and take antibiotic and analgesic tab for better and fast healing
as far as fungal infection is concern ,it remain only over upper layer of skin so dont worry about it
if u feel that u r geeting fungal infection then apply clotrimazole cream over it once or twice a day with antibiotic
keep it clean and dry
avoid sweet and sour food
