I always liked peroxide...let it bubble...clean the wound and cover it lightly. Of course this isn’t a massive wound...
oops...guess they don’t do that anymore.
Normal honey on a wound works from releasing hydrogen peroxide at the spot of moisture.
Actually the honey makes peroxide. It has been known for some time now that when honey mixes with water (like the natural water in your body) it produces A slow release of peroxide. Pouring pure peroxide on a wound kills a lot of the good skin cells along with the infection, so hospitals have stopped using it on wounds. But the peroxide produced by the honey keeps on steadily slowly releasing small amounts over a long period with good results, even less scaring.
