WashItUnderTapWater: All you can do it wash it thoroughly under tap with water,use betadine to clean if you have it or Hydrogen Peroxide and cover it with a BandAID.Use Bacitracin or Neosporin when you get it.Check the wound after 24 and 48 hours if any evidence of infection like redness or puss,then consult your doctor
