the hanger was fairly new.. not too rusty and kept inside it wasn't to bad of a cut, and my only problem with it is that it REALLY hurts to walk on it, but im 10.. all i do is walk and play lol.


Answers:

wash you whole foot with antibacterial soap for 45 seconds. put some neosporin or other antibiotic ointment on cut then put on a band-aid. the bruise will go away and the cut should heal quickly if you don't have diabetes or other peripheral vascular disease. repeat daily for 1 week. there after if its healing up. leave it open to air with no bandage on. if you have any signs of chills, fever, constant pain on cut, swelling of foot or redness and very warm around the cut you must go to a clinic or if Emergency go to E.R.
