Hello dear I understand your concern Infection can be spread to the whole foot through cut skin. Physical examination by the general practitioner will help in the management. Regular dressing by betadine solution is help in the faster healing. Antibiotic like amoxiclav for 5 days will helpful Tablet orhodol plus help for reducing the swelling and pain. So contact the doctor and get examined for proper management. Hope this may help you
