Detailed Answer:
Hi,

I saw the attached picture.

This is a wound seen commonly after shaving injury.

This heals up in a week. Meanwhile sit in a small tub that contains warm water, antiseptic solutiona nd salt twice a day for 5 minutes. Dry up the wound area after this.

This will help in wound healing faster and keep away infection.

Let me know if you need any more help.

Regards
