Sure: Assuming you don't need stitches, clean it with soap and water and apply an antiseptic cream like neosporin or bacitracin. Band-aid therapy may be indicated. If the bleeding won't stop or the wound is gaping, you'd be better off having it looked at.

Antibiotic ointment: Use antibiotic ointment twice a day on your cut. Please make sure you keep the cut clean.
