A member asked:
I have a cut that is a 1/2 inch wide and a inch long and about an 1/8 deep it's been 3 days and has been 4 days ... what should i do?

Cut: Too late for primary repair. Wash daily with soap and water. Apply Polysporin (bacitracin and polymyxin) and cover with a large Band Aid until healed. Check your Tetnus status, hopefully you have had one within the last 10 years, if not Tdap booster. If you develop redness, swelling, or worsening pain, seek additional care.
