Abrasion: I would use triple antibiotic ointment 2-3 times a day and keep a bandaid on it to protect it from further trauma (ie shoes, etc). If spreading redness, pain or other symptoms occur, you may need oral antibiotics.

See a podiatrist: It sounds like you are in need of an oral antibiotic. A wound culture might be a smart idea as well.
