Put a clean bandage, like a Band-Aid, over your cut. You may be able to try medical-grade glue as well. This keeps bacteria and germs out of your wound and can help promote healing. Avoid non-medical-grade glue, which can lead to irritation and prolong healing. After 24 hours, you can apply some Vaseline to keep the area moist.

Apply direct pressure on the cut or wound with a clean cloth, tissue, or piece of gauze until bleeding stops. If blood soaks through the material, don’t remove it. Put more cloth or gauze on top of it and continue to apply pressure. If the wound is on the arm or leg, raise limb above the heart, if possible, to help slow bleeding.

An over-the-counter antibiotic ointment is your best friend. Dot a tiny amount directly on the popped pimple or scab. This will help speed up healing time. It also keeps the scab moist, so it won't look as dry, crackly, and obvious. Keep a picked-at pimple covered with a small amount of ointment until it's fully healed. This can take a few days.
