Accepted Answer

It just needs...: To heal up.  I would apply traumeel cream (or ointment) to help promote healing.  It is homeopathic and available online or at most whole foods stores.  This is anecdotal, but I have been personally using it for myself my family and my patients for 25 years.  It is very safe, so you can apply it as often as you want.  Sometimes i will apply it four or five times a day on cuts on myself.
