Hey hey,

I am ridiculously clumsy and im forever stubbing my toes. I did it again last night and ive split my little toe nail. Ive washed and dried it twice today (before and after work) and put some germolene on it but it looks like its going to get infected. Any ideas? Last time I had this it was my big toe and it got really disgustingly horrible.

Ta!

Hello and welcome.
It might be a good idea to go and visit a chiropodist.Its important to look after our feet.
 
Soak your foot in salt water, its a wonderful antibacterial and doesn't sting as much as some options.

If you don't mind the stinging I swear by Hydrogen Peroxide, the type you buy to clean contact lenses. I wash any cuts or scratches (I have two cats, scratches are not uncommon) with it and have rarely had any wound infected, those that did cleared up quickly once I noticed them and started treating them.

And if in doubt get it seen by a professional, there is no reason to take chances.
