thanks all, I got the neosporin, (doc said neosporin or bacitracin, either one)with the pain reliever though. I will wait before applying any other stuff. And thanks for the advice on not getting it wet, I didn't last night but today I did wash my whole face. I will not do that again. The doc did say for a blunt force trauma wound the edges were pretty straight and clean, so that is a plus, easier to stitch and hopefully less scarring.
