A member asked:
I cut my pinky toe while walking. the cut is almost like a split between my pinky toe. can i use a&d ointment or neosporine??

Just use antibiotic: ointment for a couple of days. You don't want to use ointments that aren't antifungals between toes or any areas that skin contacts skin because you run the risk of a fungal infection. Darkness and excessive moisture are the reasons.
