Clean as best you can, change the dressings and clean the wound 2 or 3 times a day, and keep an eye on it. If it starts to get puffy and reddish around the outside, gets more painful, or discharges yellow or green pus, then it's infected. At that point you should probably see a physician. If you start to see streaks traveling from the wound area then at that point you absolutely need to see a doctor right away. It's called lymphangitis and it can kill you in fairly short order.
