If only the skin was hurt, treat it like any other wound.  Make sure to dry it thoroughly after washing, and do not rub it - rubbing the skin allows bacteria to enter.  Just wash gently, pat dry, and apply antibiotic cream.  If it gets worse - becomes redder, or more swollen and tender, do see a doctor.
