Cut my foot, can I use any type of antiseptic cream?

ceejayblue · May 26, 2012

Last night I stood on something sharp and cut my heel. I cleaned the wound and removed whatever it was that I stood on (couldn't see what it was!) and put a plaster on it. Today its really sore, as expected but I wondered if I was OK to use tea tree oil or propolis gel as antiseptic and antibiotic?

I'm keeping it clean but because of where it is a plaster won't stay on!

Check with your Pharmacist first, if it gets too painful and looks nasty then I'd get your foot looked at asap.

Keep a close eye on it. Keep it as clean as possible. I'm not sure about putting cream on it - will it make it too moist and aggravate it? Don't hesitate to see someone if you get more pain. Oh and if you were barefoot, not recommended!

Might be worth soaking in salt solution
Nevertheless see a podiatrist

Go to the Doctors. Not worth taking any risks.
