If the finger of a person gets wounded then he should immediately wash his hands with an antibacterial soap and dry it with clean cloth and then apply antiseptic cream or ointment on that area. The person with finger wound should also avoid direct contact of contaminated material on any kind present in the vicinity as opportunistic bacteria take advantage of the wound and worsen situation for the affected person. The finger wound should be kept covered until it is totally healed.
