Hi,I am Dr. Shanthi.E (General & Family Physician). I will be looking into your question and guiding you through the process. Please write your question below.
Hello, my name is Hannah Clark. Two days ago I cut my big toe on a piece of old metal in our back yard. I applied, and re-applied antibiotic cream, but the wound started turning black. Could it just be the shade of the dried blood, or should I be worried. Thank you!

Can Dried Blood Cause The Wound To Come Back?

I suggest ti clean the wound with hydrogen peroxide before applying the antibiotic cream. You should not be worried. Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
