If you live in the startrek universe, you just use a dermal regenerator.

don't put a bandaid on it, and forget neosporin... Get Porters Save, sh!t is amazing.

Wait, do they even sell Porters anymore?

Your platelets will heal it and make it grow faster.

There is not really much you can do except to make sure that it doesn't get infected. Ususally it's good to cover it with a bandage that sucks the secretions out of the wound and contains it within the fabric.

Well... if you want to get technical. When you have a tear in the skin, platelets do show up to blug the hole in a sense. When platelets are around a growth factor called Platelet Derived Growth Factor (pGF) stimulated mitosis in the surrounding cells to get the cells to divide. However, there are also things called contractile fibers that pull the skin together. It's a whole bunch of things but I gave you the basics.
