You're probably over this problem but if not or for anyone else who can't afford to keep going to the vet..things like this need a gentle cleaning with a new piece of paper towel- warm water w/tiny drop dish soap - rinse with a new piece of paper towel in slightly cooler water- let dry and apply polysporin. I like to use the polysporin with the pain killer lidocaine if pets wound looks painful. It's okay if they lick it off because the polysporin is difficult to totally remove from their tongue so, they will just keep licking it back on the area. Once a healthy scab has formed I stop using the polysporin. I will then cut open a small piece of my aloe vera plant leaf and apply it as often as I can to speed up the healing. This has never failed me in the 50 plus years of always having a pet(s). However, any larger deeper or post surgery wounds I always went to the vet and followed their instructions. ðŸ˜
