Hi
Thanks for writing to health care magic.
Being a diabetic, it is absolutely better to use perovap spray containing hydrogen peroxide on the cut toe. Soaking in Epsom salt is fine too.
Try bandaging as you are doing now
If the wound still persists after a few days with no improvement, fusidic acid ointment can be applied before bandage.
Keeping blood sugar under control which is very important in wound healing.
Wishing you speedy recovery
