Abrasion: An abrasion type injury is treated by cleaning it with warm water and soap, patting dry and then applying an antibacterial ointment like bacitracin. If there is persistent bleeding or spreading redness,get examined and treated in the hospital emergency room. A tetanus booster may be given depending upon when your last tetanus booster was given.
