Glass in my foot :( please help!?!


Question: Glass in my foot :( please help!?
So about 30 minutes ago, I entered in my kitchen and stepped on a very small piece of glass. I am home alone right now and I'm not sure what to do. On the bottom of my foot there's a very small cut (hard to see) and when I stepped on it it started to bleed a little. I tried to find the glass, but it seems like there's nothing there! Should I really be this worried or do you think I shouldn't worry about it? It really wasn't a large piece of glass. I also put some baking soda and hot water in my tub and soaked my foot in there for about 10 minutes. Does anyone know what else I should do? (And no, I don't need to see a doctor because I really can't do that until tomorrow..like I said, I'm home alone) Thanks.

if you push on the area and there is pain, the glass shard is usually still in there. push on it and no pain, and it's likely gone.

soap and water on the wound for 30 seconds. then hydrogen peroxide for about 30-60 seconds. afterward, neosporin or polysporin or first aid creme, then a bandaid.
