Answers:

I agree with the person who said to apply neosporin. Chances are that you did irritate it more. Wounds turn a variety of colors while they're healing, so I wouldn't freak out about it just yet.

Try doing this once a day for a few days. Get a cloth or rag, along with a bowl of hot water. Add a tablespoon or two of salt to the water and then put the wet rag on the wound, leave it on for maybe for about 10 minutes or so. After that, apply neosporin to the area, along with a bandage. I'm not saying it's a 100% way to get rid of it, but it won't do any harm.
