Dr. Joseph Mele answered

Specializes in Plastic Surgery

Clean and protected: Cuts in this area should heal quickly with local wound care. Keeping the area clean (soap and water) and moist (topical antibiotic ointment) and covered should do it. If not, there maybe a problem. Non healing wounds should be checked by a doctor to prevent further injury.
