A week ago, while i was shaving i accidentally cut my leg. i believe i have an infection, what should i treat my cut with?

Small cut : Small cuts can be treated with neosporin ointment for a few days. If the wound doesn't heal after few days see a doctor. Neosporin can be found on the shelf.. Don't need prescription.
