  1. I would advise antiseptic spray and antiseptic cream , you could also use a hydrocortisone cream to stop swelling, if your thum seems to swell alot or if it looks infected contact a doctor or nurse


  2. antibacteria  

  3. Wash it twice daily (morning and evening) with soap and warm water. After washing it in the morning, pat it dry (no rubbing), apply neosporin or a similar antibacterial ointment, and bandage it. Leave the bandage on all day. In the evening, remove the bandage, wash the cut, and re-apply a light layer of neosporin. Do not bandage it, let it air out overnight. Wounds do need to "breathe" so shouldn't be covered constantly, but should be covered during the day when you're out and about to keep it clean and protected.
