Wound care: Assuming you created the cuts, you should care for them as you would any other small cut or open wound. People do use vasoline. Many others use vasoline that has antibiotics or antiseptics within.Any cut or open wound can get infected, so one must evaluate the wound daily for expanding redness, increase in pain, and/or thick often smelly drainage.
