Suggest Treatment For Wound On Toe Of A 3 Year Old
Hello, So my 3yr old son scraped his big toe yesterday, a little bit of skin was pulled back on it, I cleaned the wound and put gauze and tape around it, now what is the best way to keep caring for it? (I don t want him to run around without it covered with something).

Brief answer :
Keep wound open and apply neosporin powder.
Detailed answer :
Your child scraped his big toe with little skin pulled out indicates that wound is not big.
In my opinion, If you keep the wound open, it will heal early, also you need to apply antibacterial powder like neosporin powder for 5 to 6 days.
I hope this will help you. Take care.
