If you want to use it adhesive tape medical tape makes a great temporary skin.

1)Please stay away from antibiotic ointments, they are for infections, not injuries. We overuse antibiotics and then they don't work when we really need them.
2) My fellow responders have some really good ideas for things that speed up healing like vitamin e, or c, coconut oil, Desitin or salt water. Keep the area clean, dry and covered, it will heal well.
3) Next time prevent this: Use an anti-itch cream so you don't scratch yourself so badly

Well I have always used salt water ... you know every time you go to the beach how fast salt water heals all your cuts and pimples on your face ... Well just mix you up some salt water and try that it may sting at first .. but apply it as often as possible..

A smelly but very effective remedy is Desitin (the diaper rash ointment). It stinks because it has cod liver oil in it, but it really works well to heal because it also has zinc, proven to accelerate tissue repair.
ps it's great for burns too.

Take vitamin C. 500 MG. And after bathing rub the area with baby oil or better yet cocoa butter if its available.

If they are still open then you should get some of that liquid bandaid. It will burn like fire but it works to heal them up. If not healed by Friday then put make up on your hand.

Try polysporin/neosporin..it works really well for healing scars and cuts fast.

try liquid band-aid, it may sting but closes the cut pritty good, and use neosporine on it too it will keep it from getting infected and worse!
