Keep the area clean with soap & water. Hydrogen peroxide is a good simple agent that has staph killing properties & can be used as a wash but dry the area well after. A thin layer of antibiotic cream followed by loos bandaging will help. Examine the area several times daily for evidence of infection. Primar healing will take a week or more.

Agree with Dr. Ferguson. Apply triple antibiotic cream, available over the counter, to the raw area. 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. Get HPV vaccine. Wish you good health! Safe sex: https://www.hopkinsmedicine.org/health/wellness-and-preven
