My baby has got a cut behind her ear, it almost look like the skin was not dried properly and as a result has split open what should i do?

Local care: Blot the area with hydrogen peroxide (kills staph), clean the site, then dry the area. Make a note to check it briefly a couple times a day. It should seal over within a few days and heal nicely in a week.
