Very small foot injury will not heal?!

Very small foot injury will not heal?

I have a very small hole on the bottom of my foot, only about as big as 1/4 of a dime, about as deep as the thickness of 3 CD's. It will not heal and I have to clean it and dress it twice a day to prevent infection. This has been there about 4 months. I have thought about cutting it back some to jump start the healing. Any suggestions? (Other than "go to doctor" -- I can't afford the deductible.)

Well, I am using alcohol to clean it with,. I notice you recommended hydogen peroxide, will that make a difference in healing?

Also, I have been tested for diabetes recently, I do not have it. I am very healthy other than this.

non-healing wounds can be a symptom of diabetes. you might try an antibiotic ointment such as bacitracin or the bandaids that have antibiotic ointment on them. you may still need to see a doctor.
