    NOTHING ON IT TILL IT HEALS!! Im a nurse and if you start rubbing shit in it your going to end up with a infection and so on..Once it has healed or at least closed and got new skin on it you can start rubbing merdurma(sp) on it but the cocoa butter helps to add moisture to it and that will help it AFTER IT FULLY healed till that point nothing till it closes..Did they tell you to pack it with gauze and clean it with light soap and water? and DON"T pinch it together..if air can't get into it to dry it then it won't drain and it will scar worse with it pinched up because alot of time the edges of skin get "crusty" and if those area seal and will make a bumpy scar....
