Cut on arm from 21st. cleaned the wound not sure whether it would be considered deep but white can be seen. how to care asap and minimize scarring?

Keep it clean: At this point it is probably too late for stitches so just keep it clean and keep dirt out of it. If it starts to turn red or have puss discharging from it see a doctor.
