It could be infected and need antibiotics to help promote healing. Other than that your best bet is to use some Neosporin on it to help promote healing and keep it as dry as possible so it does not continue to bleed. If it keeps scabbing over but not healing try the Neosporin but if that is not effective then you would need to be seen by your physician for some antibiotic medication to keep it from becoming further infected especially if there is any redness around the area.
