Triple antibiotic ointment and a band aid during the day and air dry at night. This is always the best way to heal a wound with less scaring. The more you bust it open though, the more the changes are it will scar. Try to protect it during the day from your clothing.
Good luck.

Keep the scab intact, moist and keep it from cracking. That is about all you can do to speed up healing. Putting vitamin E oil on from capsules is one way to stimulate healing in the area.

Dont pick at it because bacteria breeds underneath your fingernails. clean it with warm water and neosporin to help prevent scarring and it should be fine but dont pick plz. its gross.

The best thing you can do it LEAVE IT ALONE. Your body is doing what it needs to do. For goodness sake, don't pick it.
