Sorry for the yuk question. DS has got a graze on his toes, I think he may have dragged his feet on the floor while in the buggy (possibly with my XP as I didn't notice him injure himself) - as he does this sometimes with shoes on. It's sort of in between his big toe and the one next to it, on the inside near the ends of both of them.
It's been over 2 weeks and the main part of the graze has healed but the bit between his toes has all blistered and still looks sore. He doesn't mind me touching it and hasn't been rubbing it etc. I have been trying to keep him barefoot as much as possible when at home to minimise it getting sweaty in a sock etc.
I showed it to the HV a week and a half ago and she said it looked fine and just to bath him normally by way of cleaning it, which I have been, but just wondering now whether it might be infected as it's taking so long to heal, and the blister.
I was thinking of taking him to the GP in the morning to get it checked over but don't know whether I am overreacting. It doesn't smell or anything like that.
