The lesion should be kept dry and covered to prevent a secondary infection with bacteria. While working with animals or during manual labor in which the lesion might get wet, use a watertight bandage. To promote healing, a non-weeping sore can be uncovered at bedtime or covered loosely if still weeping.

If you are experiencing pain, fever, or notice that the lesion is becoming rapidly larger or spreading, you should see your doctor

Orf is a bit like ring worm insofar that it can exist in the environment on dry matter for a year or so. It can also be found in all ruminants and also cats and dogs. So you could've been in contact with a virus that had been dormant dormant for some time.
