What would be recommended to take care of a deep cut on the bottom of the foot?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
A podiatrist: If the cut is deep, your best bet would be to have it professionally treated. If it is cared for improperly, infection and scarring could occur. A scar can lead to lifelong pain. See a podiatrist promptly to have it evaluated, cleansed and if necessary, sutured.
