Good evening,
If your child has no allergies or particular health problems, a simple wash with a mild unscented soap twice a day, followed by an antibiotic cream such as Polysporin for a week may be sufficient.
Avoid ointment on the toes as this retains too much moisture.
If the wound swells, starts to ooze, or if he develops a fever, then you should consult.
Have a nice evening!
