Can you tell me the next step to heal these scratches ?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Abrasions: Scratches or abrasions usually heal well with some time and protection from further trauma. Use antibiotic ointment twice a day. until the scab forms. Avoid hydrogen peroxide which can delay wound healing. Protect from sun exposure and further injury.
