I don't know if this works for others, but neosporin usually helps me.

Wash with warm water and soap, then peroxide or alcohol and then clean it. Then you need to place neosporine on it or triple antibiotic ointment and then cover with a bandage....

If you wanna help with the scare so there isnt any scaring you should take a wet wash cloth with warm water and then lay it across it.

It will also help reduce inflammation....

Yea from my experience, if there's a burning sensation, I advise people to put a wet cloth over the area, it will cool it down and like Dimitri said, lower inflammation.

If possible try to keep it covered, but I understand that some people dont have medical dressings, but try your best :)

If you need any further info give us a yell :)

Thanks guys. It's really hard to find something to do to help the cuts when I don't have much first aid stuff around. I'm going to try to get a friend to buy wound cloture tape for me because there is no way I could get my mom to get it without her being suspicious.

Sounds like a good idea :)

How did you manage to get an x shaped cut overnight? That seems a little bit suspicious. I would personally go with neosporin as a disinfectant.

Hi, you know those words can be (and in this case are) synonymous, right?
