Cover with Band-aid: You may apply an antibiotic ointment like Neosporin and cover it with band aid. Wish you good health! - Have a diet rich in fresh vegetables, fruits, whole grains, milk and milk products, nuts, beans, legumes, lentils and small amounts of lean meats. Avoid saturated fats. Drink enough water daily, so that your urine is mostly colorless. Exercise at least 150 minutes/week and increase the intensity of exercise gradually. Do not use tobacco, alcohol, weed or street drugs in any form. Practice safe sex, if you have sex. Get HPV vaccine

Observe, see doc: would cleanse wound with soap and water, apply top antibiotic, and then observe for next few days. If worsens or you see no improvement, would see your doc.
