I used to be really big on wound care. I would prepare with gauze, peroxide, water, neosporin, etc. I even would bandage/cover them when I had to go to work (I work in an ER so that just begs to get infected). Now, and I have no idea when it stopped, I guess in the last month, I just stopped doing wound care. I just kind of halfa** wipe the blood and let it heal itself. The only difference i've noticed between the two is the scabbing is a little more coarse when I don't clean it/lubricate the cuts (heals quicker because its kept moist).
