Virtual appointment: A photo may be uploaded during a Healthtap visit. If it has been more than 24 hours, sutures may not be possible. An imaging study to rule out a fracture is suggested. Watch for signs of infection.

Topical antibiotic : To avoid infection soaking in acetic acid (Vinegar) is one soak that is effective. Two tablespoons of vinegar per quart of water. Topical antibiotic. Dressing might not be possible
