Question: I cut myself with glass while doing the dishes and...?
is it safe to do this cause i don't want to risk infection.
I put neosporn and a bandaid on it when I got it so it wouldn't do anything bad...
Answers:
You did the right thing.
Keep the wound clean and covered while it heals.

Just try not to touch it at all, that's just gonna make it more irritated. You should rub it with wet tissue to clean off as much blood as possible, place a dab of neosporin on the cut to protect it, and then cover with a bandaid. You should be fine after this.
clean it with either hydrogen peroxide, or isopropyl alcohol, and cover it. skip the neosporin for now until it scabs over, to avoid trapping bacteria on the cut

Ouch. You're safe as long as you put the Neosporin on it. Peroxide may help too. Happy healing!
