Wash the cut thoroughly with disinfecting soap and water. Then apply either a disinfecting lotion or spray such as Neosporin, and bind the cut, blocking out any germs or bacteria. If the condition worsens or does not get better within a day or two, see a doctor. A small cut with an infection can be very dangerous.
