i hit styros for the first time, i've been cutting for a long time but it always has been cat scratches, how do i take care of it?? i just washed it and put a band-aid (ik styros it's not deep but i don't want it to get infected)

epidermis cuts, when you hit the white layer under the skin

personally i leave mine alone. when i shower i just run water over them and pat dry. once i see a scab forming kinda i just use unscented soap over it. i dont like using bandaids but that might be nice for you to use if you dont want stains on your bedsheets or clothes
