I would soak in warm/hot water. Topical antibiotic if possible. You can also add vinegar. 2 tablespoons per quart of water or 15 ml. Per liter of water.

Use white vinegar 1/2 cup to a quart of water and make fresh for each soak and soak twice per day. Then apply neosporin and band aid - remove for each soak. Expect your provider to prescribe antibiotics
