Apply triple antibiotic cream, available over the counter and keep the raw area covered. You should consider getting a booster shot of tetanus. Do not use peroxide as it damages the tissues. For healthy diet: http://www.choosemyplate.gov/., exercise 30 minutes/day, drink enough water daily so your urine is mostly colorless, have safe sex, no tobacco alcohol weed or street drugs.
