Don't apply alcohol to a wound, it will take much longer to heal, friend.

@mesmer oh, are you not supposed to do that? i thought that helped make sure it didn't get infected.

Initial cleaning and debriding, maybe (its recommended to not use it on the wound itself even then).
After its clean, keeping it covered with a bandage and a thin layer of vaseline/antiseptic ointment and changing dressing every day is the play.
Things like hydrogen peroxide and alcohol damage the tissue trying to grow back.
