Hubby stepped on a upturned "somewhat rusty" screw at work today, has a puncture wound in the bottom of his heel. He can walk on it with "a good bit of pain". There was no bleeding, and he had a tetnous shot April 2005.
We cleaned the wound with Peroxide and put Antibotic Ointment and a sterile cotton pad on it.
What to do next?
What are any signs he needs to see a doctor?
Would an antibotic help speed healing?
thanks in advance.
