Thank you for the question. If you cut yourself by accident, you should apply simple first aid to the wound.
1. Clean your hands and if there is any bleeding, you should apply pressure to the wound to stop the bleeding.
2. Clean the wound with an antiseptic cleanser or water.
3. Apply an antibiotic ointment to the wound or antiseptic cream or gel to the wound.
4. You can dress the wound with a plaster or dressing.
5. Do lookout for signs of infection. If the area around the cut develops redness, pain, or discharges pus, you should see your doctor to prevent the infection from worsening. Oral antibiotics may be required if this happens.
