Rinse with saline: If the tissue became irritated with excess product, use normal,saline to wash the area (1 tsp (5gm) salt into 1 liter boiled water,allowed to,cool). Then try bacitracin ointment to the wound. Keep,wound clean, and depending how deep,it is , change bandage daily, after repeating above. Good,luck
