Dear lybrateuser, - It is always advisable to be innoculated regularly to provide you protection against such occurrences, however if you have cleaned the area properly with water & then applied an after shave lotion or cleaned it with an antiseptic like Dettol then you don't require it , can apply an antibiotic cream on the area.
