I have a cut on my finger what do i do?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Keep it clean: Most cuts would heal by themselves and thus keeping the cut clean would suffice. But if you were cut with something heavily contaminated, then infection may follow. If you see any pus coming out of the cut, then an antibiotic may be needed. Make sure you are updated on your tetanus immunization.
