Hello Ma'am,

Usually, it's best to just leave it out in the air and not apply anything, and make sure the cause (possibly a closed shoe) is avoided until it heals.

That said, I haven't seen the crack. Are you able to see a pharmacist tomorrow.

I worked as a pharmacist in the emergency department of the Granby Hospital for 6 years before dedicating myself to Ask your Pharmacist. I completed my education in telehealth at Jefferson University in Philadelphia and are recently completed a Postgraduate Diploma in Health Informatics at Université de Sherbrooke.
