I am currently:

Best to use normal saline to clean wounds but going to cost some $$ to get it from the chemist. The next best solution is just plain soap and water then apply pressure with a clean towel on the wound, then dress the wound appropriately like the wound care faq would suggest. I would avoid using skin wipes for the face, as it contains multiple different chemicals in the solution which might irritate the wound and cause further scaring on the wound thus maybe delaying the healing process.
