Cuts and grazes

[Jeremy Instone]

Hi wonder how people treat cuts and grazes on their legs and feet?

I've been rubbing Savlon in and a combination of the cream and massaging
seems to work quite well with any wounds tending to heal within two weeks or
so.

What other treatments do others use and with what success?

Regards

For starters, I try to keep my feet and legs protected so these things don't
happen. I did accidentally cut a toe a couple of weeks ago with nail
clippers. I just put some Curad Silver stuff on it. Healed right up.

Some years ago I did get a nasty cut the underside of my foot towards the
heel by a piece of glass in the bathtub. Stepping down on it kept splitting
it open. I smeared it with Neosporin, covered it with a big bandage and
tried not to step down on it. Eventually I bought a silicone heel insert
for my shoe in case I did need to step on it. Mostly I just walked on the
toes of that one foot until it healed. About two weeks. That did do a
number my my calf muscles walking like that though.
