Here is what you do. Get some activated charcoal tabs, cut one open, make a paste of the charcoal, and put it over your owie. Charcoal will draw out all the infection. It makes things pure! Another good thing is to cut a potato slice and put that on there. The raw potato draws out infection also! Google activated charcoal. You will be amazed at what it cures! And how fast it does it!! Best stuff in the world!!
