Defend,
I'd go easy on the major septicides, they kill bugs but the can kill healthy tissue too. At this point I agree with the above, keep it clean with soap and water. Warm soaks are good too, if you don't get the salt solution, just soak it in warm soapy water. Watch for signs of deep infection: redness, stiffness, swelling, red streaks up your arm, lymph nodes at the elbow and or arm pit. If you have access to the topical ointments use them. Make sure you wash it out thoroughly between applications to get the old inactive ointment out of the way. Keep a dry dressing on it if possible. If it goes south, get medical aid quickly. Wounds on hands are a high priority. Keep us posted.
