Suggest Treatment For Skin Tear On Toe

My two year old daughter has a skin tear on her second toe that she keeps re-injury. I have been using neosporin & not wrapping it up so that it can breathe. When she allows me I clean it with peroxide & water then apply the neosporin. I can not get it to heal. What else should I do?

General Surgeon 's  Response
Hello,

You can continue daily dressing with neopsporin. If there is any signs of infection, antibiotics must be started. Nothing much to worry and the wound will heal by itself.

Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.

Take care

Regards,
Dr. Shinas Hussain
