-Wash the area with gentle soap and water thoroughly. 
- apply pressure to the wound with a clean towel to stop any bleeding.
-Cover the wound with a sterile bandage.
-If there is swelling, raise the wound above your head to help reduce it.
After a few hours, remove the bandage (unless woundis on the face).
-Treat the wound twice daily with antibiotic ointment.
