If you suffer a reef cut while surfing the outer breaks in Hiriketiya, you must immediately clean the wound with fresh water and apply Betadine antiseptic solution or a local iodine cream, which you can buy at any pharmacy in nearby Dikwella. Tropical coral cuts get infected incredibly fast, so keep the wound completely dry and out of the ocean until it heals.
