Soaks & Abx: You have to dry the area out, and treat the infection with oral antibiotics an possibly anti fungal medications. Epsom salt soaks, betadine solution soaked gauze between and toes and avoid closed shoes.

You don't: You go see the foot doctor immediately, this is a serious infection! you should of been on an oral antibiotic. And possibly still should. I highly recommend even if you think it is better that you see a foot doc to make sure the infection is healing as it should.

See Physician: Have physician evaluate and treat as needed. Do not take any chances with an open wound and infection.
