If you have a minor cut, the proper first aid is to wash the wound with clear water, apply an antibacterial ointment and cover it with a bandage.
If the wound is more serious, contains a foreign body such as piece of glass or a contaminant like mineral oil, or if you have a weak immune system, you should see a doctor. The wound might require stitches and the doctor may want to give you a tetanus shot or antibiotics. See more at the Mayo Clinic link, below.
ANS2:NO: do not apply any ointment. That can cause more harm than good. Simply cleanse the wound in clean water, without soap
