Wound dependent: Small superficial wounds can be rinsed with sterile saline or a dermal wound cleanser and dressed with a topical antibiotic ointment and covered with a sterile dressing. Deeper more involved wounds may require a more aggressive approach. See your physician to see what is best for your type of wound.
