    you can put peanut butter on it if you want to,

    but it probably won't be a good idea.

    Yes, but make sure it is PURE aloe vera, not the store bought gel packs with chemicals inside.

    NO, it is not an antiseptic and will stop the wound from healing.

    1) wash well / disinfect

    2) put 100% (real 100%, not a bit of natural this + natural that) aloe vera gel on it

    3) cover with a plaster

    repeat 2 or 3 days, should repair faster, than with nothing.

    Depending on how big the wound is, I would use Neosporin

    No, it would hinder cell growth of the cells trying to heal the wound, it’s foreign material to the exposed parts of the wound.
