You need to soak your foot in water as hot as you can stand - without burning yourself - for 15 minutes several times a day. If there are red streaks running up your foot or leg, go to the doctor - NOW! If not, put antibiotic ointment on it & bandage it between soaks. If you have not had a tetanus shot in over 5 years, better get one. Good luck!

use peroxide and then use a triple antibiotic ointment 2-3 times a day. Cover it during some of the day when you are doing things and let the air get to it at night so that it can still heal. Just do that for about 2 or 3 days and it should start feeling better

Clean it with some peroxide, a cap at a time. If it foams a lot, repeat that a few times, then let it air dry, put some neosporin and a bandaid on it. You might have to repeat that again tomorrow as well, after bathing or taking off your shoes. It should start to heal pretty quick since I noticed you didn't say it was green and pus filled.

Any cut on the foot is really painfull. Just keep it clean and be patient for it to heal.

depends on how bad it is, hydrogen peroxide or bactin will be helpful.
