Hey Dwyn.
First of all...don't soak it in soapy water!!! That could be irritating it more! You should use clear, running water to wash your wounds, and make sure they are cleanly dressed. Neosporin and a band aid is fine, especially if it is not too deep. Make sure it also has a little bit of time to get some air, as well.
Vitamin C and Zinc are great for helping the body fight infections and heal. So, if you can, take some vitamins and/or make sure you're getting good nutrition!
Hope it heals up alright! PM me if you need to talk!
