heres the thing: i fell on the edge of a cinderblock while trying to crawl through my window ( i left my keys at home )

and i cut beneath my pinkie and the toe next to it, its a pretty deep cut. my friends mom seriously thinks i need stitches and i do too,

but the doctor said he wouldnt recommend it because those toes naturally curl or something and it wouldnt be right??

but im SO worried though it might get infected because its deep and all thats on it is a bandage of neosporn and a big wrap around bandage on my foot and the doctor said to just keep my foot flat and not dance or anything.

is there any other, way to make it heal? i just took off the bandage and its wet for some reason but its not blood and im so scared and worried.

please help me out
thanks.

Soak your toes in peroxide..NOT ALCOHOL......dry affected area and apply neosporine..continue for approx.3 days making sure to change dressing often.

First, a foot soak--salt water and hydrogen peroxide, for 10-15 minutes, 3 times daily for 2-3 days. Then air dry , apply neosporin or triple antibiotic, and elevate in sunlight.

Foot wounds are hard to heal and require tender, constant care till the weeping is finished, and gentle treatment for a few days afterward. Best of luck.
