Hello. Thanks for writing to us at healthcaremagic
You can apply any topical OTC antibiotic like either framycetin (soframycin), mupirocin or silver suphadiazine (silverex), twice daily, till the dead skin peels off and further 2-3 days.
The goal of applying a topical antibacterial is to prevent secondary bacterial contamination and ensure that the wound stays healthy as it healing.
