Antibiotic ointment: If your laceration is superficial keep it moist with Bacitracin ointment to prevent scabbing. If it is deep seek a consultation with a plastic surgeon or visit your local emergency department. I hope this information is helpful. Stephen weber, M.D., f.A.C.S. Lone tree facial plastic surgeon.
