Summarize this article in one sentence.
Cool water can help take the sting out of the cut. Be gentle with your wound. Scrubbing too hard can open up the paper cut further. In the absence of cool, running tap water, utilize a bulb syringe or poke a hole in a plastic bottle and squeeze. The properties that kill bacteria can also damage healthy cell tissue. While they rarely cause serious harm, they could slow your rate of healing. If the cut is bleeding a lot or it doesn't stop quickly, stop it by applying gentle pressure with a clean washcloth or bandage. Keep it clean. The air will help dry it out and within a day you'll hardly remember it happened.
Rinse the cut with cool, clean water to remove any dirt or debris. Scrub gently with water and mild soap. Rinse your wound under cool, clean water until all the soap has been rinsed away. Avoid hydrogen peroxide, isopropyl alcohol, or iodine. Stop the bleeding if necessary. Let your paper cut heal on its own.
