I got rope burn on my foot yesterday?!


Question:

I got rope burn on my foot yesterday?

Yesterday I fell trying to catch a frisbee and tripped over a volleyball net and got rope burn on the top of my foot. I've had it for two days and it still stings and oozes a little, and feels sore 24/7. I was just wondering, how should I treat it?

The injury gos exactly where the straps on my shoes go, and I'm also wondering if it's safe to cover it with a bandage?


Answers:

Clean the wound with warm soapy water. Dry with a clean towel. Apply an antibiotic ointment like neosporin to it and cover with a dry sterile bandage. If you are going to wear shoes, you might want to make the bandage thicker to pad the wound from your shoe straps.
