That depends on the amount of tissue damage and the extent of the infection. Generally, if it is red and "angry" looking, but hasn't spread to the surrounding tissues, clean it and apply an antibacterial cream , such as Neosporin, Polysporin, etc., and bandage it with clean bandages and change the dressing at least every day (but not every hour, you'll just irritate it further). If, though, there is oozing and pus, lots of redness and swelling, and the surrounding tissues are warmer to the touch than the healthy tissue, you should consult someone who can possible do a better job of cleaning and dressing it or prescribe an antibiotic. Hope you feel better soon!

What exercises work on wrists?

> Lifting weights help strengthen your arm you will start to also feel it in your wrist Here's what I use: Use about 5 feet of rope to tie a weight to the middle of a 1" diameter wooden rod about 18" long. Hold the rod in both hands about chest high, and wind the rope onto the rod to lift the weight. Then unwind to lower the weight. Choose the weight, reps, and sets to fit your workout routine. You can also do wrist curls: hold a dumbell in one hand. Rest your forearm on a bench with the palm up and raise and lower the weight using just your wrist. Repeat with the palm down. Again, choose the weight, reps, and sets to fit your routine.
