How To Treat An Injured Piece Of Skin On My Toe?
Hi I cut the nail on my big toe and some of the skin was ripped on the inside left part. A few days later now the skin has seemed to swell out and became slightly infected. I have used drawing salve and neosporin but the swelled part is still there like a chunky piece of skin what can I do

Hi,
It seems that there might be having infection due to cut in normal skin.
go for one antibiotic medicine course for 3 days.
Clean the wound properly and apply Neosporin.
Ok and take care.
