My hand, not finger, got cut by a razor blade. It stopped bleeding rather quickly. I think it's a deep cut but it's not even half inch long. I immediately applied soframycin on it without even cleaning it with an antiseptic. I cleaned it with an antiseptic the next day and took a shot of tetanus, approximately 30 hours hours after my hand has been cut. What can I do to make it heal faster? Do it cover it or leave it open to breathe? And can I continue applying soframycin on it? Should I keep cleaning it with antiseptic, like once in a day? Please, help me.
