Immediate Irrigation: "If the skin is broken, wash the area thoroughly with fresh running water and mild soap for at least 5–10 minutes. Do not use seawater to clean the wound, as it contains the very bacteria we want to avoid." Tetanus Check: "Check your vaccination records. If your last Tetanus toxoid shot was more than 5 to 10 years ago, it is advisable to get a booster dose as a standard precaution for any animal-related skin break." Topical Care: "Apply a thin layer of an over-the-counter antibiotic ointment (like Bacitracin or Mupirocin) and keep the area covered with a clean bandage for the first 24 hours." Monitor the Area: "Observe the site for the next 48 to 72 hours. Look specifically for increasing redness, warmth, or swelling that spreads away from the initial pinch site."

"To confirm if your Tetanus status is up to date or to review a photo of the wound for signs of infection, please book a full consultation session via my Practo profile."
