What can i do for my toe laceration without going to a doctor?

Toe laceration: The first step is vigorous cleansing of the laceration. The next is pressure to control any bleeding. Then you want to put the edges of the skin together. You can do this with superglue from the hardward store or by using butterfly bandages applied on top of sticky stuff like tincture of benzoin. Watch for signs of infection, especially on the feet, with more pain and drainage on day 2 or 3.

Hope: It doesn't get infected and end up losing it...
