Cocoa butter may relieve some of the burning sensation as well. But if the cut is open too much, I'd be careful using the Cocoa butter. It's good for burns (like with sunburns) but you don't want to start an infection in an open wound. But the thing that many surgeons recommend for healing a cut or scar is Vitamin E cream (found in a pharmacy or health food store). It works wonders as I have used it after surgery.
You also might want to first try putting some Neosporin (antibiotic cream or gel) on it to help heal this cut if it doesn't seem to be healing. Do NOT use alcohol since alcohol can actually burn and irritate the skin to where it is more difficult to heal. If you want to put something on it before the Neosporin, use Hydrogen Peroxide. As the cut begins to heal, use the Vitamin E to help it heal faster and prevent scarring.

You may find that a topical cream will help your injury to heal quickly.
Two treatments i would personally reccomend are both...
aloe vera cream: which is used in many salons across the world.
Palmers cocoa butter solution: You may find this creame to be a little oily but it is worth it since the results are amazing.
And for all around great skin support which will also help improve your injury I would reccomend...
Silicea pills: Which are a favorite among Dermatoligists. These nifty pills are used to help recover nails, hair, and skin.
