Question: I tripped on the sidewalk and cut/scraped/bruised my chin. Should I cover the wound or let it air out.?
I've been putting neo-sporin on it and using small a butterfly bandage to try to close the cut on my chin. But should I keep the rest of the wound covered with a Band-Aid.?Health Question & Answer
Answers:
if you let it air out, it will get infected with bacteria from the air. wash it out with a warm wet wash cloth (possibly soap) and put a band-aid on it.

Wow I am glad you are okay. That must of really hurt. You should clean out well with peroxide and put antibiotic cream on it and cover it for a couple of days. Then after two days let it air out. Good Luck and I hope you feel better. LOLHealth Question & Answer
what do you mean "close the cut" if it is deep you should have went to the ER. Leave the band aid on for a few days so that it does not get infected. Once it has clotted take it off and let it air. Neo is great stuff though.Health Question & Answer
I would let it air out, it seems like it would heal faster.
