Question 1

my son has cuts under both his pinky toes. i have no idea where they came from they are more than a paper cut. what could this be from?

Accepted Answer

Cracked skin: Could be a fungus, too much moisture, or both.  If he sweats excessively, foot powder could be used.  I would also recommend starting antifungal cream every night before going to bed and in the mornings.

Question 2

i have a cut on my toe that won't heal.

Accepted Answer

Non-healing toe cut: A nonhealing cut can be a sign of circulation or nerve damage. If you have had your blood sugar also known as glucose evaluated recently and it has been determined that you do not have diabetes there may be other explanations. If the cut is located between or underneath your toe i would suspect a fungal (athlete's foot) related fissure. Your podiatrist can help you to determine whether the problem is systemic or a focal infection.

Question 3

Question 4

cut up the tip of toe how to bandage?

Special bandages: They sell some special bandages in the store.  Some are called knuckle bandages.  It depends on where the cuts are.  One thing that works well is coban.  Coban is a stretch type bandage that sticks to itself but is not sticky.  You put gause under it and wrap the toe in 'coban'.  You need to make sure you do not apply it to tight or it can cut off your circulation.  You may want to see apodiatrist.
