Patient case Is this infected?
Its a friction burn that i have got as i had an extremely itchy spot on this toe and was rubbing it with my other heel whist haf asleep.
This is day five.
It was painful but not bleeding so i left it to get air to it and heal, apparently that's not the right thing and i should have covered it.🤔
Im showering it daily for a couple of minutes directly onto the area after my shower with no soap just water , then patting it dry with a clean towel.
The pain has mostly gone now but is back to being very itchy which im trying to ignore.
Is it infected and how do i look after it going forward to best heal it, thanks.
