Hi CBR,
Mr. Scouse is right. You can alternate between the two. The other thing to do is place a piece of lint-free dressing that has a couple of drops of clove oil on it over the wound,
or, (and you won't believe me), a cold wet teabag
, Just pour hot water on it, steep for one minute, then pour off the water, DON'T SQUEEZE. When it is cool enough, pop it in over the wound. Now, they both have a down-side
, tea tastes digusting, and will leave the side of your tongue brown. Clove oil, smells disgusting, and drives all your friends away. Good luck
" Is it safe........?"
