Footwear for Injured Toe
Hi,
I had an operation a month back on my left leg, 3rd toe. The stitches were removed a week and a half back and seemed to have healed. However, my nail bed had ruptured and its still in the healing process. I am confused as to what type of rain footwear I need to wear as I still dress my toe with betadine and chloramphenicol & cover with a gauze. I do not want any infection at this stage. Please suggest.
Thank you!
