Local wound care: Local wound care usually involves washing with a gentle soap and water twice daily, applying antibiotic ointment and monitoring for signs of infection. Increased redness, swelling and pain, especially when combined with the appearance of pus indicates an infection which should be evaluated by a primary care physician.

Need more info: would need to see an image to make the most accurate diagnosis. If you are snowed in, a live healthtap consult with a doctor in your state can likely provide you with a diagnosis and treatment plan that is most appropriate for your 12 month old.
