In the UK you can get an iodine solution from the chemist for about £1 or you can buy the exact same stuff from the reptile shop with a pic of a lizard on the front at £6.50.

You should always have povidone iodine solution on hand(thats the generic name (much cheaper) the original product is Betadine. Wonderful for soaking any wound /infection/ even burns on reptiles.
Also hydrogine Peroxide works to clean out a wound/cut

I don't know if they have this in the UK but neosporin works good on healing cuts. Good luck!
