ds2 (9) cut his foot on the beach on Saturday. He didn't mention it until we got back to the car, so I thought it wasn't serious. When we got back he soaked his feet in the bath and gave it a good wash, and said it was OK. Scar about 8mm long in the very middle of the sole of his foot.
Today he says it's hurting and the area around it is starting to go pinkish/red as though there is some infection. The scar does not look very clean and I'm worried there is something still stuck inside.
He's had a long soak in the bath tonight and says he wants to just leave it for a couple of days and see what happens. Tomorrow he has got swimming with school.
Do you think it's OK to leave it for a couple of days and see if it gets worse or better?
